G'day guys how we going well today
I'm gonna have my very first attempt at making camp oven scones right here my backyard
So we will see how we go up to the table and I'll show you what's going on
Righto, so as I mentioned, I've never made scones before so always keen for a challenge
especially when it comes to cooking something up in the camp oven up. So Im going to make a pretty simple sort of a
Mix here. It's just gonna be some self-rising flour
Bit of butter some sugar and some milk and then we'll add jam and cream at the end now
So, Im just going to make start making it up, but just like a pretty simple
So start it off. It's going to put
Two and half two and about two and our three cups of flour into the bowl here this is self raising flour
There's one
Get one more going when it all comes up
Is two and we'll go about half three quarters and the last one
That's always happens when you're doing something the first time
Righto that's that in there and then put a bit of butter. So I'm gonna put yeah about that much butter in it
And then put a bit of sugar in
Just sweeten them up a bit
couple of teaspoons of sugar
It'll sweeten it up. Just nicely
All right, let's mix all that up
The idea is to this mix well the butter into the end of the flour and get that all nicely bound in there
Work it in good just mixing in with your hands for now
And then let me put the milk in and we'll use a bit of a bread knife there just to mix all that up
So he's got to get to mix all this in here
Make sure it's all nice and thoroughly mix through get all the sugar all flavor through the flour
good old self raising flour
Right on it's all starting to look pretty good
Right in the middle here Im just gonna make a bit of a well in the middle here, we're gonna pour the milk into
About 3/4 a cup and milks going to go into it for now
About that much
Put the lid back on that so it doesn't fall over.
Tip that in the middle there. Now just gonna get a knife, and just mix this up just
To mix all that milk in there mix the flour all up
That's looking pretty alright, so far mixing all the liquid in
Apparently the trick with making scones is not to work the dough too much, It's a bit dry. So I might put a dash more milk in there
Just a dash
Bit more milk just to moisten up a bit
Righto, just gonna put a bit of flour just on the board, just going to put a bit of flour on the board, meant to use plain flour
But I didn't have any of that. So it's kind of use good old self-rising for that as well
And we'll tip this out onto here
Get rid of that
Look at that that's looking great
Here we go, they're not gonna work that around too much that's looking fantastic
Yeah, I'm just gonna pat that down
Looking pretty good
All right, I
Then I'm just going to get a knife now.
I haven't got a one of those pastry cutters that some people might have to make the size of them up
So I'm just gonna cut it with a knife
Look at that it absolute beautiful
Cut those in half there ,cut those in half there and cut that in half
Here we go. Now we're gonna get six out of this
So we'll take these now down to the camp oven and we'll get them cooking up
Righto, get this camp out, it's been heating up there for a good half hour or so
Gets a lead off that, ahh yeah nice and warm
Leave that there
Then we'll get these in here. No, I didn't have any baking paper. So I'm just gonna use some tinfoil here on the bottom
Knee
Won't have enough room for all of these we will get four in there anyway
We'll squeeze them up
We'll get five in there
Look at that
fantastic righto, then just at the top
I'm just gonna baste a bit of milk on top just so they don't dry out too much is brush a bit on
Bit of milk on top there top
On top of each one
Just help him brown up a bit when they yeah, then they start rising or all right, that'll do that
Get this lid back on
Righto, now to organise some coals
Put that down there and then few calls on the top
Righto, I'm gonna give that about 15- 20 and then we will check them, and see how they are going, billy on the go here, jam and cream on top
It's gonna be a great combination when they're all finished
Have a look at that, they look fantastic
I'm very happy with these be my first time around. Ahhh fair dinkum hot. Cut one open here
Have a look at that. Ohh yeah
Look at that that's absolutely fantastic. I have worked an absolute treat for my first time
So I'm very happy with those, cut another one
very hot
Absolutely, beautiful let's get some jam and some cream on them
At the end of the day you can put whatever you want, you know on your on your scones
Typical jam and cream pretty much standard what everyone mostly sort of puts on them?
You can't go wrong, good Ol jam and cream bit of thickened cream
Absolutely, beautiful
Well, I'm very happy with these
And that
tastes absolutely, fantastic
First time making scones in the camp oven. Right here in my backyard. I couldn't be happier with that that's absolutely beautiful. So
What do you guys chuck your scones and more or less? What do you put on top of your scones be pretty keen to know?
Chuck them in the comments down below. So everyone else can get some ideas there.
I might be able to learn a few things to you from whatever scones you make because this is my first attempt
I'll be making these again because these are pretty
amazing
Well there you go guys. There's another session Batesy's cooking from his backyard
And I look forward to seeing you guys on the next one. Hoorroo
