INTRODUCTION

For my first blog post, I thought I’d post something for Mothers’ Day. I think the easiest thing to teach kids to bake are scones. So to ensure that they know how to bake them for Mothers’ Day tea this Sunday, I taught them this super easy recipe.

INGREDIENTS

500 ml Flour

15 ml Baking Powder

2 ml Salt

60 ml Castor Sugar

65 g Butter (soft, room temperature)

1 Egg

125 ml Milk

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200 º C

Sift dry ingredients into a bowl.

Rub the butter into the dry ingredients until they look like bread crumbs.

Beat the egg into the milk and add to the flour mixture.

Mix together with a knife and then use your hands to form a dough.

Turn out onto a floured surface and pat flat, about two cm high.

Using a scone cutter, or just a glass, cut scones from dough.

Place scones onto a greased baking sheet and brush with a little more milk.

Bake in oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Start 15min timer

Allow to cool before serving with jam and cheese or with cream and jam.
