👩🍳 SCONE FRIDAYS 🧑🍳
Today’s afternoon tea is delicious scones with jam and cream.
Cooking is a wonderful way for children to learn about mathematics in a real world experience. Measuring, pouring, combining and the fun of doing it together. What do you like to cook at home?
Maybe you would like to try making your own scones at home, use our recipe and enjoy ✨
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 cups self raising flour
- 80g Butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups of milk
- jam to serve
- whipped cream to serve
METHOD:
1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Sift flour into large bowl
2. Using finger tips rub in butter into flour until mixture resembles breadcrumbs
3. Make well in the centre. Add 1 cup of milk. Mix with a flat-bladed knife until mixture forms a soft dough, adding more milk if required. Turn into a lightly floured surface. Knead gently until smooth (don’t knead too much or scones will be tough)
4. Lightly dust flat baking tray with plain flour
5. Pat dough into 2cm thick round. Using a 5cm (diameter) round-cutter, cut out 12 rounds. Press dough together and cut out remaining 4 rounds making 16 total. Place scones onto prepared baking tray. Add a milk wash to make them golden brown.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden and well risen.
7. Serve with Jam and Cream
Happy baking 👩🍳🧑🍳
