Chocolate And Orange Scones....

Ingredients

700g/1lb 9oz self-raising flour
150g/5½oz butter
150g/5½oz caster sugar
2 large oranges, finely grated zest of both and juice of one orange
150g/5½oz chocolate drops
200ml/7fl oz whole milk, plus extra for brushing

Preparation method

Preheat the oven to 210C/400F/Gas 6. Lightly butter two baking trays.
Sift the flour into a bowl. Rub in the butter using your hands until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, chocolate drops and orange zest.
In a measuring jug, mix the milk with the juice of one orange. Add to the flour mixture gradually until the dough just comes together. You may not need all the liquid. Be careful not to overwork the scone dough.
Roll out the dough to approximately 2cm/1in thickness and cut out scones using a 5-6cm/2-2½in cutter.
Transfer the scones to the buttered baking trays, brush the tops with milk and bake in the centre of the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until risen and golden-brown.
Remove from the oven and cool on wire rack.

Norfolk Style-(Gangnam Style Parody)

Being from Norfolk, UK. I thought it would be a good idea to make a stereotypical video about Norfolk. I'd like to thank Mateo Jarvis and my Dad for helping me make this video. Sorry that the quality of the camera is not that good but its the only camera we have. By: Wyll James.
