So lovely people we're going to make
homemade scones. I love doing this I
probably do it every single week the
kids love it. It's really really really
easy and I'm going to be bigging up
my beautiful bakeware range. We're going
to use 500 grams of self-raising
flour. 150 grams of diced unsalted butter
I will put a pinch of salt in because I
don't want them to decide how much salt
goes in I want to put my pinch in. A
couple of teaspoons of sugar in just to
kind of give it an edge of sweetness I
don't want it to be sweet just kind of
take it off of savory okay then I'm
going to go in with two sort of semi
heaps like that teaspoons of baking
powder that's going to give it a nice
little rise then what I want to do is
just rub this together it doesn't need
to be perfect if you've got a few blades
of butter sort of in the mix it's all
good it gives lift and rise to your
beautiful scones so bring that together
a little splash of milk and then I've
got 150 grams of lovely dried fruit
random you know you go apricot, sour
cranberries, cherries you name it you can
do it I just put a little orange juice
on top of it and leave it for about half
an hour just to sort of slightly
rehydrate those lovely fruits and then
literally I'm going to hug this together
and try not to overwork it okay so as
soon as it comes roughly together like
this I'll cover it I'll let it chill out
in the fridge and then I'll roll it out
in about half an hour
So we got some beautiful cutters here
all kinds of shapes and sizes we got the
fluted and the plain a range of
different sizes as well I'm going to
just do a little mixture of all of them
really
just to kind of get the fun going so I'm
going to go straight on to a baking
sheet I'm going to just add all of these
as long as there the same thickness they're
going to cook at the same time. So we got
our beautiful sour fruits scones there you
can put a little milk on top or a little
butter I'm just going to use a little
extra virgin olive oil not very classic
but I don't mind it perfect for the job
Brush them on top they'll cook up an
absolute treat. In the oven 180 degrees
Celsius which is 350 degrees Fahrenheit
cook those for about 15 minutes until
they've doubled in size gone nice and
golden and then I will put them together
with simple classic clotted cream and
jam. So the lovely scones have had a
cheeky little 15 minutes in the oven
lets get them on a cake rack so look these
are rough and ready and they are rustic
and I love them this way okay for me
it's all about the flavor and the
texture right crumbly jam clotted cream
gorgeous if you work that dough harder
you will get a more perfect shape and
cut out but I don't think they taste as
good clotted cream has to be one of the
most ridiculous delicacies in the world.
Some lovely jam absolute simplicity at its best
So what do you do clotted cream or
jam first I go clotted creams but
look you can see how short this gorgeous
scone is
mmm oh yeah I love you absolutely
gorgeous so guys what are you waiting
