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.
