We used the ample sunshine this morning to do some baking (Fruit Scones powered by sunshine!) using the Ninja Foodi Max.

Here’s a simple recipe and method for home made fruit scones, give it a go and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the results!

FRUIT SCONES INGREDIENTS

350 grams self raising flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

85 grams butter cut into cubes (margarine works too!)

3 teaspoons caster sugar

175 millilitres milk (add slightly more if needed)

1 teaspoon vanilla essence (we currently cant get any due to lockdown so have managed without).

100 grams sultanas (or mixed fruit if you prefer).

Beaten egg or milk to glaze.

METHOD

Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix to form a fair stiff scone dough (I made it easier by using a food processor).

Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth then roll or pat out until 1/2 or 3/4 inch thick and cut into rounds with round cutter, (I used a glass, you should only get 8 to 10 Fruit Scones out of the dough).

Put 4 or 5 in the ninja basket and bake on 190 for 15 minutes place on a rack to cool and repeat for remaining.
