Breakfast Burrito he inspiration for these handheld burritos came from those served at the Santa Fe Farmers Market, in New Mexico, where they are truly the early bird’s reward—feasting on a portable breakfast while scoring the pick of the produce is a magical start to the day. Though either Mexican or Spanish chorizo would work, we prefer the smoothness of the Mexican sausage and the way its flavor, rich with chiles, soaks into the potatoes. Avocado adds a fresh, bright note. View more of our favorite recipes from this issue. burrito recipe here

Figgy Scones MAKES 20 SCONES ACTIVE TIME:25 MIN   START TO FINISH:1 HR Drop scones are a boon for busy bakers, since they’re a snap to make and almost foolproof. These bake up light and fluffy. A touch of maple syrup and pieces of fig make them just sweet enough—ideal for breakfast or an afternoon snack. 3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/2 lb dried Calmyrna figs, stems discarded and figs cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups) 2 large egg yolks Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together buttermilk, syrup, and 1/2 cup cream in a small bowl. Mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment at low speed (or whisk in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and mix (or blend with your fingertips or a pastry blender) until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Mix in figs, then add buttermilk mixture and mix until just combined. (Do not overmix.) Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and drop 10 (1/4-cup) mounds of batter onto each sheet, leaving 1 inch between mounds. Whisk together yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons cream, then brush over tops of scones (use all of egg wash). Bake, switching position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until scones are puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes total. Transfer to a rack and cool to warm.

"

Eggs? I admit the Gauls have a way with the omelette. I admit their excellence there, albeit it is rather on the frothy and frivolous side. And I acknowledge their artistry in all lighter concoctions, such as desserts. But these are the icings and the toppings and finishes of culture, not culture itself. French breads may be fine. But a slice of solid Dutch bread, with honest Dutch butter on it, is like a handsome solid island in the froth and foam of the sea of French crusts on breads and pastries.

If this be treason, make the most of it. It is high time somebody spoke out.

The trouble with Gallic meats is that they are pretty tasteless to start with.
