How to make scones
Ingredients:
---------------
350g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
---
85g butter, cut into cubes
3 tbsp caster sugar
--
175ml warm milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
squeeze lemon juice (see tips below) 5ml
---
beaten egg, to glaze, apply to the top only
jam and clotted cream, to serve
Method
STEP 1
Tip the self-raising flour into a large bowl with ¼ tsp salt and the baking powder, then mix.
STEP 2
Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.
STEP 3
Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave 1000w for about 40 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice, then set aside for a moment.
STEP 4
Put a baking tray in the oven.
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.
Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife – it will seem pretty wet at first.
STEP 5
Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it’s a little smoother. Pat into a round about 2.5cm or 1 inch deep. Take a 5 cm or 2 inch cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what’s left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
STEP 6
Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully arrange on the hot baking tray. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream.
If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for a few minutes to refresh.
Making your own Self-raising flour
---------------------------------------------
350g self-raising flour, plus more for dusting
Self-raising flour formula =
100g plain flour +
4g baking powder
So
350g plain flour + 4g * 3.5
350g plain flour + 14g baking powder

The secret of Lasagna
Incredibly good when used with the BBC White Sauce
Prep half an hour
Ingredients
Meat sauce
455 g sweet Italian sausage
340 g lean ground beef
80 g minced onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste/concentrate
2 (6.5 ounce) cans canned tomato sauce/Passata
120 ml water
25 g white sugar
1 g dried basil leaves
1 g fennel seeds
2 g Italian seasoning
18 g table salt, divided, or to taste
1 g ground black pepper
15 g chopped fresh parsley
Simmer for two hours
Freezes Well.
Red sauce, pasta, white white
Repeat
then cover generously with grated mozzarella
Directions
In a big pot or pan, cook beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until well browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, tomato sauce, and water. Season with sugar, basil, fennel seeds, Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons parsley. Simmer, covered, for about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water. In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese with egg, remaining parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange lasagna sheets over the meat sauce. Cover with white sauce. Repeat three times. Top with grated mozzarella.
Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving

Do you need to make a little sweet treat for your ma, da, brother, sister, or significant other's birthday?
Well, According to my wife I haven't cooked anything edible in several weeks so do you….
fancy grabbing something sweet, tasty, and significant other approved? What do you do? You reach for this, $TITLE, not carrot sticks, and not rice crackers. Savor these with your favorite cuppa tea, or a fancy rich dark roast Arabica coffee. You deserve it!
They're basically a lovely shortbread cookie, with a layer of rich caramel covered in chocolate, ideal for diabetes, fatties, and those who enjoy good old Saturday night binge eating and food disorders. They make an excellent gift too.
The "millionaire" means better than regular Scottish shortbread, billionaire means salty caramel, naturally. The Scots were so poor their rainbows were in black and white. Sad face.
Hopefully, with rampant inflation, you can afford to buy these ingredients because…
Today I’m gonna show you how to make the real deal, the Pot Of Plenty Millionaire Shortbread.
