20.01.2022 Got 30mins? Why not whip up a batch of scones. Ingredients: 500g SR flour 250g cream... 250g soda water Method: Add the flour to a large bowl Weigh out the cream and soda water and add to the flour. Using a butter knife, cut through the mixture until the liquid has just been taken up by the flour. The mixture will still look very uncombined - that’s good! DO NOT OVERMIX! Flour your kitchen bench liberally and turn out mixture. Gently pat mixture together and flatten with palms Use a floured cutter to cut out scones Brush tops with milk and cook in a hot oven until golden brown.
