I've been asking ChatGPT to write recipes
And you know what? AI seems to write very reasonable recipes.
Here is its recipe for orange scones:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 large egg
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the chilled butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
Using a fork, gently mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it briefly until it comes together.
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Cut the dough into 8 wedges.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Let the scones cool for a few minutes before serving warm with butter and jam, if desired. Enjoy!
