Helping Mum At Cooking Club

Helping Mum At Cooking Club

We make a lot of things at cooking club like banana and strawberry muffins, pancakes, pizza and loads more. Cooking club is on 3 days a week, Monday with year 1 and 2, Wednesday with year 3 and 4 and Thursday with 1 and 2 again. I love cooking with my mum so much I keep buying recipe books. If you want to make our most resent food we cooked you came to the right place because I'm going to give you the recipe for cheese scones. 

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Yield: 6 - 8 scones depending cutter

Ingredients:

• 225g/2 cups self raising flour
• 55g/½ stick cold butter, cut into small cubes
• 1 level tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup /50g grated cheese plus 1/2 cup /50g extra for sprinkling
• 1/2 tsp dry mustard
• ½ tsp salt
• 150 ml/¼ pint milk
• 1 egg beaten with a little milk

Preparation:

• Heat the oven to 400°F/205°C/Gas 6
• Generously grease a baking sheet with butter then sprinkle with flour.
• Sieve the self raising flour into a roomy baking bow, add the cubed butter, the baking powder and salt. Quickly rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Add the grated cheese and dry mustard powder to the mixture and mix well.
• Make a well in the center of the mixture and using a dinner knife, stir in enough milk to make a soft, pliable dough, if you add too much sprinkle with a little flour to prevent the dough from being too sticky.
• Turn the mixture on to a floured board or work surface and knead very lightly until just smooth then lightly roll out to 2cm / 3/4" thick.
• Cut rounds with a 7.5cm/3" cutter or cut into triangles with a sharp knife.
• Place on the baking tray and brush with the beaten egg and milk mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese then bake near the top of the hot oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown and well risen.
• Cool on a wire rack before eating.
