VE DAY 75 – SCONES RECIPE FROM SSAFA

SSAFA would like to share an authentic VE Day recipe for scones. You may like to have a try of this for tomorrow’s “Tea in the Afternoon”?

VE DAY 75 SCONES

Ingredients:

  • 12 Tablespoons Self-Raising Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 8 Tablespoons Grated Carrot
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • Vanilla Flavouring

Method:

  1. Let the butter come to room temperature so that it is soft, then mix with the sugar. Add the grated carrot in stages along with six drops of vanilla extract;
  2. Next, add the flour and baking powder in stages. As you mix, the carrots will release their moisture and bind the mixture together. Make sure all the flour is mixed in thoroughly;
  3. Break off into pieces, roll in your palm and pat down. Sprinkle sugar on the top. Pop the scones on a baking tray and bake for 20 minutes at Gas Mark 6/200C;
  4. When the scones are golden brown on top, remove them from the oven;
  5. Leave them to cool completely and serve with jam and cream.

Enjoy,
