Hello Scones!


 I think the banner on top of the blog should also say
'Bringing back the art of feeding your family' 
because it seems like while many people are taking up cooking again, it seems like a competition of who can make the fanciest stuff!

I love the simple and delicious. So easy and appreciated!

Like these scones.... (makes about 12)

Preheat oven too 220 degrees

In your Thermie, whip the cream first as per the EDC.

 
Scrape out the cream into a bowl and refrigerate for later!

Don't bother washing out the bowl, add 2 cups of plain flour, 4 tsp of baking powder, 60gm chopped butter and hit turbo a few times untill its like breadcrumbs.

Add 160 gms of milk and mix on the wheat setting until it starts to form a dough, add a little more milk if needed. The trick with scones is to work as little as possible.
Tip out onto a floured bench, it should look like this


Pat down until until 1cm (or more) thick and cut with a floured MC, pat together scraps and cut out more!


Brush with milk and cook until brown


Enjoy with Strawberry Jam and the cream you whipped earlier.


And it won't be long until the plate looks like this!



I often make these after school, apparently it makes me the best mum ever!  ;-)
