CB, easiest cheese scone recipe in the world. 8oz SR flour, 2oz butter/marg (i use soft Stork for baking), officially 4oz grated cheddar (but I always through in an extra handful). Blend marg into flour, getting as much air as poss in, same with cheese (i spend time just picking up & dropping back into bowl just to get plenty of air), mix to a dough with cold water. Roll to about 1/2 inch deep, cut out, brush milk on top, little bit of grated cheese & then into gas mark 5 for 12-15 mins per batch. Simples!

Well done, it all looks magnificent!

[chickengrandma-2008]

It does, there's enough to feed an army there!!

One thing I noticed in the kitchen, the chap with the short hair has a hat on, all the others with long hair don't.

[cookiecookuk]

the man is the chef and i the cook wear hats at all times the rest of the women are carers or domestics and were just helping to clear up and on a normal day if they were  in the kitchen they would have hats on but they are all wearing head pieces like head bands.:-)

[chickengrandma-2008]

Oh that's ok then, I'll let them off!;-)  It all looked lovely anyway. 😄

[captainbovine]
