Scones

Plain scones. Kind of like biscuits.
 
8 oz flour
1.5 t baking powder
2 oz soft butter
1 oz sugar
5 T milk (plus a little bit for glazing)
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 425F.
Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until chunks are gone and mixture is sandy. Add milk and egg, mix just until incorporated. Cut into shape with a cookie cutter or 2" mason jar. Makes about 6 scones. Bake on a greased sheet, brush with milk, bake for 12 minutes.

Meatballs

These are totally fine meatballs. Nothing fancy, but if you have some meat and want to make meatballs, they work.
 
1 lb ground meat (ideally beef, veal, and pork, but whatever; impossible/beyond meat works fine too)
1/2 cup freshly grated Romano cheese
1 eggs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cups bread crumbs from stale Italian bread
3/4 cups lukewarm water
 
Mix everything but the bread crumbs and water. Then add bread crumbs, then water a bit at a time until the whole mixture holds together. Form into meatballs, fry until browned or roast in the oven (not sure how long).
