How to Cook Easybake Scones
- Place the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and then sieve (strainer) in the flour. Mix well using your hands and, if necessary add a few drops of milk so that the dough becomes pliable (but not wet).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the mixture flat so it is about ¼" (6mm) thick and, using a small cup or glass (or a cookie cutter if you have them) about 2"-2½" (5cm-6.5cm) diameter, cut circles of dough and place them on a lightly buttered flat baking tray. Lightly brush the tops of the scones with a little milk.
- Place the baking tray into a preheated hot oven (Mk 8 - 450ºF - 230ºC) for 20 minutes until the scones are golden brown. Remove the scones and place them on a wire cooling rack if you have one - otherwise a large flat plate will work. Eat warm or cold, cut in two horizontally and filled with jam (jelly) and fresh cream... delicious!
- Once cool, the scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
If you don't have a rolling pin, don't despair, a bottle or straight-sided glass jar will work just as well.
Reviews of Easybake Scones
July 19 2014 Here's your basic "start here" scone recipe. While this simple scone was delicious as is (with cream and jam) it's also the perfect vehicle for your favorite add-ins. many people add raisins and sultanas. I happen to love dried cranberries while my husband prefers chocolate chips (oooh, tempting!). An excellent basic recipe that you can develop to suit yourself. harriet (5 reviews) |

The smoke, the sizzle, the aroma, yeah - it's time for BBQ but don't buy scrappy steaks if you want to eat like a king.
If you know what kids like, they're easy to please, even using 'healthy' foods that they normally avoid. It's all in the preparation!
These are our editorial choices that we have tried and really enjoyed. A real mixture of recipes but all of them certain to please.

Mum's Chocolate Crunch Cake was one of my favourite things when I was young... and, if I'm honest, it still is! It keeps fine for two or three days.
Baking is a culinary skill that sounds complex but is usually horribly easy... and Mother's Oat Cookies is a perfect example of that.
Is it a pie or a cake? Who cares? - this recipe for Mississippi Mud Pie is a chocolate-lovers delight. Unless you are watching your weight!!
