 My acorns

Once upon a time Joshua went looking for his nuts.

when all of a sudden he saw no nuts he rubbed his eyes then

he looked again. but he couldn't see them. He ran to look for them 

but no nuts so he walked away sadly and prayed and said please,

I lost my nuts and I couldn't see them so I looked” again and couldn't

see them, so I told to please make me a tree with nuts thank you ”.

The day my taste buds stoped

I tasted a brown, yellow, rocky, buttery scone with a mountain of cream on top. This is with dark poison berry jam and I smelt a delicious berry Scone with cream and crispy crumbs. When i ate it it was

           scrumptious!! 

When it went down my throat it gulped in my mouth and i felt all the crumbs rip apart. I  saw a scone on a plate with  homemade jam and cream that looked like a pile of snow.

It was amazing!

• ​3 cups Edmonds standard flour

• 6 tsp Edmonds baking powder             

• ¼ tsp salt                                            

• extra Meadow Fresh milk

• 75g butter

• 1 to 1½ cups Meadow Fresh milk, approximately

  METHOD

  1. ​Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
     
     

  2. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
     
     

  3. Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
     
     

  4. Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
     
     

  5. Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.
