Hot Cross Scones - Marble Jar Activities

This is the best day with Aunty Caryl and me making our Hot Cross Scones.

This is Uncle Wayne helping James put in the flour.     

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of self-raising flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup raisins
• 300ml cream
• 355ml can lemonade
• 100g white chocolate, melted
• Butter and Jam to serve!

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200ᐤC. Grease an oven tray. Sift flour, cinnamon and salt into a bowl, stir in raisins and make a well in the centre.
2. Pour in cream and lemonade into well. Mix together to just combine.
3. Tip dough onto a well-floured bench; press with well-floured hands, to flatten. Cut out round with a 6 cm cookie cutter. Place scones on prepared baking tray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pale golden.
4. Remove to cool on a wire rack, covered with a clean tea-towel.
5. Put crosses on top with white chocolate!
