Making Scones

Yesterday in Hospitality class, we made scones which ended up tasting delicious! I was partners with Issy and we were very exited to get started, although Issy wasn't able to eat them properly as she had just gotten braces, and therefore her teeth were hurting.
After we watched Ms Baker give the demonstration, we were able to go into our stations and get started.
Firstly, Issy and I got 2 cups of self-raising flour, and put it in a bowl. Then I got the milk and was just about to pour it into the same bowl when Issy stopped me, and reminded me that the butter had to go in first, and be rubbed into the flour. So then we did just that, and I rubbed the butter into one side of the bowl while Issy did the other. Once the butter and flour were mixed together properly, we made a well in the center for where we would pour the milk in. But this time we double checked to make sure it was the correct timet o do this step. When we poured in 1 cup of milk, and mixed it through with a knife, we found that the mixture was still a bit too dry and needed more milk. So we added a little bit extra.
Then I got the mixture/dough out of the bowl and placed it on the flour-covered bench. As I started to knead it in the way that Mrs Baker had instructed us to, it began to take shape, and form into one piece. After Issy had a go at kneading it, we began to roll it out, although once we rolled it out and began to cut it with the cutters, we realised that it was still too thick. So then we rolled it out more, and then cutted them all up. Issy then brushed milk on the top of each piece and we put them into the oven to cook.
While they were cooking, everyone in our bay worked hard to get the area clean, and then we went on to check on the scones.
Once they were ready, we cut them in half, spread on some rasberry jam and cream, sandwiched it up, and ate it.
They were very delicious, and I couldnt wait to eat them.
Overall it was a great experience to cook with Issy, and I will most definitely take this recipe home with me to cook again and again.
