Put the kettle on.. it’s another Cake ‘n’ Cookie Friday
Cake and Cookie Friday returns with a touch of sophistication as this week our Multimedia Specialist Rich Walker turns his hand to the traditional scone.
Though renowned as a wingman to the mug of traditional English tea, the origin of the scone is a Scottish one which would explain why our own Scotsman Rich was able to produce some of the best scones this side of the border, here is how he did it:
Rich’s “Don’t Call Them Skones” Scones
My favourite fillings - jam, clotted cream and a nice slice of Photoshop
Ingredients:
8oz self raising flour
3oz butter
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 tablespoon of sugar
Splash of whole milk
And don’t forget the filling! The Ebuyer crew munched their way through the following:
4 tubs of Cornish clotted cream
1 jar of raspberry jam
1 jar of strawberry jam
450g of fresh strawberries
