Since we’re experiencing a four-day-weekend this weekend for Easter there is much time for doing things one normally can’t fit in a two-day weekend.

So today was baking day. Unfortunately I don’t have any young, cute, willing children to help me out in the kitchen yet, so today I enlisted the help of my sexy boyfriend who really just wanted to help so he’d score some food at the end.

Firstly, make sure your helper gets a shot of you in your apron while you’re unaware.

Cheese scones

Preheat oven to 180*C.
Ingredients:
3 cups self raising flour
1 cup cheese, grated
1 onion, chopped
2 T butter, soft
2 T parmesan cheese
parsley (Rob wouldn’t let me put any in mine)
water, to mix

Add self raising flour to your food processor. I know it’s random to show you our self raising flour bag, but it’s quite interesting to show food products from different countries.

Grate and add cheese.

Roughly chop onion, the food processor will do the rest.

Add parmesan cheese for extra flavour.

Add soft butter, not melted.

A pinch of salt.

All in together.

Add small amounts of water, slowly.

Until it represents dough.

Flatten out dough.

Cut into squarish shapes and place on baking tray. Top with some extra grated cheese.

Bake approx. 15-20 mins or until risen and brown. Once baked, slap some butter on them while they’re still warm from the oven.
