Scones - Savoury and Sweet

We like to have scones as an alternative to sandwiches for lunch or as a dessert with cream and jam - yummy! This is a basic recipe that you can have either savoury or sweet. They don't take long to make either so are perfect for a last minute picnic or party.

Ingredients

8oz self raising flour
2oz butter
150ml milk
2oz cheese/sugar

Method

• Preheat the oven to around 180 degrees.
• Combine the flour and butter in a bowl and add the milk gradually to form a dough.You can add the sugar OR cheese too here.
• Split the dough into 8 balls and place on a lightly greased baking tray.
• Pop in the oven for about 20 minutes until the scones are browned lightly.
• Scoff!

Pancakes

If you’re looking for a quick and simple recipe, with minimal ingredients you’ve come to the right place! This has been made time and time again in our household for a speedy breakfast, a filling snack or as a tasty dessert.

Ingredients (makes 5)

• 4oz plain flour
• 1 egg
• 250ml milk
• Oil for cooking

Method

• Add the flour to mixing bowl and create a well in the centre then tip in the egg.
• Beat the mixture continously with a whisk and gradually pour in the milk until smooth.
• Heat a frying pan with a small amount of oil (approx 2tbsp) and tip some of the mixture into the centre, rotating the pan to coat the base thinly.
• Cook for around one minute and then flip the pancake over.
• Once lightly golden in colour slide the pancake onto a plate.
• Serve with scrummy toppings!
