Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- Tefal Cake Factory
- Googly Eye Food Picks
Ingredients
For the scones
- 250 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (heaped)
- 2 pinches salt
- 55 g cubed butter
- 25 g caster sugar
- 50 g cranberries
- 110 ml milk
To serve
- 50 ml double cream
- 2 tsp icing sugar
- few drops vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp strawberry jam
Instructions
- Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture has the texture of fine bread crumbs.
- Add the sugar and the raisins and mix to combine.
- Add the milk and mix everything together with your hands, pulling it together to form a ball of dough.
- On a floured worktop, roll the dough out to approx. 3cm thick. Cut out six circles from the dough, using a 5cm round cutter.
- Place the circles of dough in the muffin moulds ,then place the mould in the Cake Factory and close the lid. Switch it on and set it to the manual mode, setting the temperature to 240°C and the timer to 25 minutes. Press start and leave the scones to bake.
- Note: If cooking in a normal oven, preheat the oven to 220°C (Gas mark 7/425°F) and bake for 15 minutes or until the scones are risen and golden.
- Once the scones are cooked, carefully tip them out of the mould onto a cooling rack.
- Whilst the scones cool, place the double cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, whizz them together until the mixture is stiff.
- Spoon the cream into a piping bag with a large closed star piping nozzle.
- Split the scones and spread the bottom half of each scone with strawberry jam, then pipe a generous dollop of cream on top.
- Push 2 or 3 googly eye food picks into the top of each scone, then pop them on top of the strawberries and cream bottom halves to make cute scone monsters.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
