How to make Cherry 'Scoscuits'




Heyo!
I've been very unwell for these past few days therefore, I haven't been able to write a brand new post. A week or two ago I guest posted on another blog so instead of posting nothing, I decided to share the post with you guys as well. 
This is a scone recipe that I found on the internet a few months ago and slightly adapted and I must say are super simple and yummylicious. I've called them cherry 'scoscuits' because although they have a kind of "sconey" texture,  they don't rise very much like scones thus are (kind of) biscuits/scones. My sister is a big Star Wars fan and asked me to make scones as it was Star Wars day hense the writing on the scones (just thought I might explain that). Righty roo let's begin. 


                  Ingredients (makes roughly 25):



- 250g Self Raising Flour
- 75g Butter
- 190ml Milk
- 75g Sugar
- 140g Glacé Cherries


Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

2. Mix the sugar and flour together in a large mixing bowl.

3. Chop the cold butter into small pieces and add in with the flour and sugar. Then combine the three ingredients together using your hands to make the mixture crumby.

4. Add in the milk bit by bit (continue to use your hands to combine the mixture).




6. Chop the glacé cherries up into halves or quarters (depending on how strong you want the taste of the cherries to be) then add them little by little into the dough (keep using your hands to evenly fold the cherries in).

7. Sprinkle flour onto a work surface (or chopping board if you want less to clean up afterwards) and roll the dough out to roughly 2 cm thick.

8. Using a cookie cutter, cut your dough into any shape and spread the shapes out over two baking trays. Then put into the oven for 15-20 minutes. They are ready to take out when quite solid on the top (don't wait for them to be rock hard however as after 20 minutes they should in theory be definitely ready).

And that is it! I'll see you next week.
