Raspberry & Almond Scones



Ingredients

  •     2 cups self-raising flour
  •     2/3 cups almond meal
  •     1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
  •     1/3 cup caster sugar
  •     1/3 cup frozen raspberries
  •     300ml Bulla Thickened Cream
  •     2 tablespoons milk
  •     Flaked almonds, to sprinkle
  •     200ml Bulla Dollop Thick Cream

Method
  • Preheat oven to 200C (180C fan forced). Place flour, almond meal, baking powder, sugar and raspberries in a large bowl, stir to combine. Add Bulla Thickened Cream and using a flat bladed knife, gently mix until just combined.

  • Turn out on to a well-floured surface and bring together gently using floured hands. Pat dough to 2cm thickness and use a 5.5cm scone cutter dipped in flour to cut scone rounds, reworking the dough and dusting the cutter as necessary.
  •  Place scones close together on a baking paper lined oven tray, brush with milk and sprinkle over flaked almonds. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes on tray before serving with lashings of Bulla Dollop Thick Cream.


Traditional scones with a twist! Tuck into these gorgeous raspberry and almond bites, best enjoyed with a rich dollop of thick cream.

Healthy Raspberry Almond Scones for two slightly more wholesome options! Despite the tempting allure of those store-bought cookies and chips, these scones still disappeared first! And with no refined flour or sugar and extra protein, none of us felt guilty about that!

To make these healthy scones, you’ll start with white whole wheat flour. That sounds a little strange, almost like a paradox, doesn’t it? However, white whole wheat flour is made by finely grinding a special type of soft white wheat, whereas regular whole wheat flour comes from a heartier variety of red wheat. This gives white whole wheat flour a lighter taste and texture, similar to that of all-purpose flour, which really lets these scones’ tender texture shine. Even better, it has the same health benefits (like extra fiber!) as regular whole wheat flour.

Jumbo fish fingers

Image
Cooks In25 minutes prep, plus cooking Ingredients 1 x 2 kg side of salmon, skin off, pin-boned , from sustainable sources 2 large free-range eggs 2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika 250 g wholemeal bread 30 g Cheddar cheese extra virgin olive oil Method Something as humble and everyday as a fish finger can be made even more nutritious if you make your own, and even better, you can go jumbo in size! I like to use salmon but, of course, white fish works well, too. Cut the fish into 10 x 120g portions. The nature of the shape of the salmon side means that they won’t be uniform in size, but that’s all part of their charm. I tend to cut the side lengthways about 3cm thick, then into chunks from that. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the paprika and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Tear the bread into a food processor, grate in the cheese, add 2 tablespoons of oil and whiz until you have breadcrumbs, then tip into a tray. Coat each fish portion in the egg mixtur
