Let's start!
Cooking utensils:
1 oven (warmed to 325 degrees F/165 degrees C)
2 trays for the oven
1 silpat (reusable silicone mat) or parchment paper
1 small muffin pan
1 round cookie cutter the size of your small muffin pan
2-3 medium-sized bowls
1 peeler
1 knife (plastic knife for kids!)
1 whisk
1 rubber spatula
2-4 shot glasses
1 digital scale
1 measuring cup or a set of measuring spoons
1 tea kettle
Scones for the Holidays
A delightful tea time treat that's also perfect for Thanksgiving! This easy holiday recipe for kids would be a great addition to your holiday traditions. Feeling munchy as you're waiting for the big Thanksgiving meal? Have a little teatime snack! The raisins are the perfect addition as it gives the scone the sweet and savory flavor. A true classic!
Ingredients:
460g or 3 1/2 cup of white flour
75g or 1/3 cup of granulated sugar
15g or 1 Tablespoon of baking powder
120g or 1/2 cup of cold butter (cubed)
3 eggs
125g or 3/4 cup raisins
70g or 1/3 cup whipping cream
STEPS
1. Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and butter in a bowl using your hand or a mixer.
Note: If you are using your hands, crush the cold butter until you cannot feel the big chunks in the mixture.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and the whipping cream until well mixed. Add the raisins, then mix again to combine.
3. Combine the two mixtures until it turns into a dough. Then transfer the dough onto a clean countertop, knead, and flatten into a large circle about an inch thick.
4. Using a round cookie cutter, cut out circles and place them in a muffin pan. If you don't have a cookie cutter, you can cut it in wedges instead using a knife. After they're cut, place them on a large baking sheet lined with silpat or parchment paper.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown at the bottom and around the edges. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a large plate.
Note: Turn the pan at the half-time period ( 7th or 10th-minute mark) for a more even cooking of the scones on all sides
Voila! The scones are done!
Set aside or arrange them on your flavorful plate. Let's go to the second recipe!
