JUNE 8, 2024: English Muffin + Scone Brunch

Join us at the mill as Katya teaches us how to make the ULTIMATE English-inspired brunch. Take a trip to London via the BSM Education Center, and learn to make savory English Muffins (to be served with goat cheese + chive spread, and tequila-cured salmon) and delightful Chamomile Scones (to be served with clotted cream and jam). 

This course is a great way to experience how stone-ground flour can elevate "quick breads" like scones and English Muffins from their already-beloved status to next-level flavor centerpieces. During class, you will spend time learning how to choose the right flours for these delicacies, expertly mix these doughs from scratch using high-quality ingredients, discover key indicators to look for in your dough in order to achieve the right texture for English Muffins and Chamomile Scones respectively, and cook these items perfectly to achieve ultimate satisfaction. While your scones bake in the oven, you'll work in teams of 4 to griddle your English Muffins, ready to be served with herbed goat cheese mousse and one of Katya's favorite Mexico-City inspired dishes - tequila-cured salmon. Now a dish at Austin's beloved Fonda San Miguel (and published in their cookbook), this tequila-cured salmon was served to FSM founder Miguel Ravago in the Mexico City home of Guadalupe Rivera Marin (daughter of Diego Rivera), and is a great dish to have in your back pocket to elevate any meal. 

Expect to learn about basic bread techniques, including dough mixing, bulk fermentation, shaping, and cooking griddled breads, as well as some basic pastry technique with your scones, including butter-crumbing techniques for soft scone texture, chilling doughs and baking at appropriate temperatures, and much more! As always, Katya is an absolute wealth of knowledge when it comes to refining kitchen techniques and building an elegant finished dish - we always learn so much from her!
