Scones...

Finally, I baked something. Scones again. Here's the recipe exactly as I did it today. Seemed to hit the spot with everyone.

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs (from our chooks)


• 4 tbps grape seed oil (from Costco)


• 2 cups Paul's organic un-homogenised milk


• 4 cups Coles unbleached white self-raising flour


• 1 tsp Saxa iodised salt


• 1 tbsp CSR caster sugar

Method:

1. Beat 1 egg, oil and milk.


2. Add flour, sugar and salt.


3. Then the usual. I use a large champagne glass to cut the scones out into a narrow but tall scone.


4. Use the other egg for the glaze.


5. Add cut-outs to  buttered (I used Lurpak) and floured (White Wings plain flour) tray in a 230 degrees oven for about 10-12 minutes.

We went to the Young (NSW) Cherry Festival and picked up some marmalade and lime chilli jam from Poppa's Fudge and Jam Factory on Lovell Street. It is one of the highlights of the trip to Young each year which will no doubt become an annual pilgrimage over time!
