I can't believe I did not take any pictures...I just had my cubs here to "bake"....

10 cubs and their Akela. It was a busy morning and I truly forgot to take pictures but the cubs were so amazing.

The cheese muffins and the English scones turned out edible. The cream they whizzed to butter so we used that to spread on the scones ...an "accidently" lesson on how to make butter, fortunately I had more cream to whip.

It was a very tasty morning.

Cubs Cheese Muffin Puffs:

1 cup sieved flour

1 tsp sieved baking powder

1 well beaten egg added to

3/4 cup milk

1 cup grated cheese

1/2 tsp mustard powder

1/2 tsp salt

Sieve the salt, flour, mustard pwd, baking powder

Beat the egg to death

Beat the egg into the milk, wipe up the spill

Stir altogether gently and drop into muffin cups filling 3/4 full.

Bake 375* till browned.

They measured a bit too much milk and made more yorkshire pud type muffins, but the muffins were wolfed down before you could blink.

Cub Scones:

8oz flour sieved

2 tsp baking powder sieved

2oz butter rubbed into fine breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk or cream

pinch salt.

Lightly stir the milk into the sieved ingredients and knead gently, pat out to the thickness of first finger joint and cut with a square cookie cutter so there is no wastage or much thumped and reworked dough for the second round (there still was much worked dough which did turn out "dood-goei" (sp) which is a very discriptive Afrikaans saying meaning ...Dead-throw...heavy, thro-it- away stuff)

The cubs had home made butter, whipped cream and jam to spread on their warm scones and there was not one left, dood-goei or not.

 
THanks joanie. OUr scouting "season" has just started again, and I'm looking for ideas.

Have you done any other cooking or food related projects with them?

I'm working with Wolves (7-8 year olds).

 
we call those Beavers...butter in a jar, they love that.....creamm in a sealed jar and much shaking

then some kind of cookie/cracker on which to spread their butter.

 
oh, white bread slices, cookie cutters like a wolf and butter and

spreads like chocolate ants...the littles like this.
We have made 'johnny cakes" with our cubs
sweet cookies (we call them biscuits)
we do cook outs with a fire (the ones you buy already in a tin foil trya) and make dampers, toast marshmallows and sausage wrpped in dough over the fire. etc
all traditional cub/scout cooking

Next cook-out we will make Indian Stew. They will need their billy cans and use corn and bacon and tomatoes and celery and stew up the lot and eat it with dampers.
