COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Joe's mum has some good recipes. I like her scone recipe. I'm on the phone and learning, so soon I hope.

I make my own cheese scones. And cheese straws. I do my own bread too. And cakes etc.
boredom buster ?

Cheese scones sounds really good. I changed up Joe's mum's recipe a bit. The additional ingredients to a basic recipe is up to what you have handy I guess. At least that's what I do. I used to make my own bread also. I just don't have enough people to feed now. Scones are going to be my go to now.

Ohh, sounds delicious. Great idea too

My own recipe

You have to send me pictures of all the cakes you make so that I can feel like I’m eating them ?

deal ?

I cannot make anything without a very exact and specific recipe. I am a terrible cook and a competent baker. That cake looks really good.

And for gods sake somebody post a scone recipe

I don’t have enough people to feed it’s only myself. But I do it because it’s something I enjoy. Neighbours are never complaining when I take trays round of scones. Bakes tarts. Crusted rolls. Baps. Cakes etc etc. Of course I do some for myself. I just chuck them in the freezer ?

No such thing as a terrible cook ?

What is a bap?

 

[Lokkje]

And yes post the recipe. If you post the recipe I can actually pull off making it and now I want a scone with some coffee more than life itself.

 

[Lokkje]

Do they take long?

It’s like a roll that you would put a hot dog in.
perfect for filling with cheese and ham and popping under the grill?

 

[Mystic_Queen (Llaria)]

Probs about half hour or so.
let me type it out. Give me a few mins.
I do buttermilk scones too

Well it’s 115° in the shade here today. Both my desert tortoises are flailing away trying to get into the house. The third desert tortoise is missing in action so it’s probably deep in the burrow.

I think the ones that burrow do it in self defense from mother nature. I've seen my backyard at 129° because of the sun. And I live in Ohio. I'll bet yours is much worse.

What you need for a perfect cheese scone.
225g/8oz self raising flour
pinch of salt
55g/2oz butter
25g/1oz mature Cheddar, grated
150ml/5fl oz milk

How to make the perfect scone creation.

Heat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 (not sure on American Oven temps but should be the same).
Lightly grease a baking sheet (you can line a baking sheet with grease proof paper if desired) and Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter. Add in the cheese and then the milk to get a soft dough. Turn onto a floured work top and knead very lightly. Pat out or use a rolling pin but be gentle to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter (I use a glass)to stamp out rounds and place on the baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up (we don’t want any waste) . Brush the tops of the scones with a a small amount of milk. Bake for 12–15 minutes until risen and golden. Take out oven. Cool and enjoy ?

They take 12-15 mins to bake. So from making the dough and cutting etc to baking. Total tome shouldn’t be more than 30-45mins. Give or take

I think everyone’s ran off to bake scones now ??

Ok. This is Joe's mum's recipe as best i can. It makes 6-8 depending on your cutter size. She uses a 1.25 inch cutter. Preheat oven to 400° you will bake them on a floured cookie sheet for around 12 minutes. Rub together 8 ounces flour, 3 tsp baking powder, and 2 oz butter. Stir in 1 oz or so of sugar and 2 oz of mixed dried fruit. (I used some chopped up pecans too). Next add a slightly beaten egg and stir into mix. Add a little bit of milk at a time until you have a soft dough. Flour your work surface and pat out the dough until it's a little over an inch thick. I really like this recipe.?
