FRUIT SCONES
Standard
Grand
Method
1.
Sieve together the flour and baking powder. Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar and sultanas.
2.
Whisk the egg and milk together. Make a hollow in the flour and pour the liquid in, saving a small amount
for brushing the scone tops. Mix lightly and roll out to around 2cm (1”) thick.
3.
Cut circles of dough with a 6cm (2½”) cutter. Brush the scones with the remaining milk/egg mix. Place
them in the Remoska and cook for around 15 to 20 minutes until pale gold.
TIP: serve warm, sandwiched with jam and whipped cream.
MINCEMEAT TARTS
Standard or Grand
Makes 16-20
Method
1.
Lightly rub the sieved flour and chilled butter together until they resemble fine crumbs.
2.
Mix together the egg yolk, cream and brandy. Add to the crumb mixture to form a pastry; take care not to
over-mix.
3.
Chill the dough in the fridge for 1 hour, then roll out thinly. This is best done a small quantity at a time as
the pastry is so rich it may be tricky to handle.
4.
With a 6cm (2½”) cutter, cut out circles of pastry and place in the tin foil cases. Fill each case with 2
teaspoons of your favourite mincemeat.
5.
Roll out more pastry and cut smaller circles for the tops. These quantities should make 16 to 20 tarts.
6.
Place a number of the tarts in the Remoska and cook for around 10 to 15 minutes, until golden. Remove,
cool slightly and dust with icing sugar. Repeat for the remaining tarts.
Cooking times are the same for Standard or Grand.
