Tonight, fun... music and food!
First a pretty crazy music experience. Then, some back and forth about food. Followed by a video about food in the UK, a couple exercises online, share recipes and boom - into to the kitchen!
Swedish Marblepunk ...because it's simply too cool not to share ;-)
Food in Britain ...because that's where we're headed!
Scones video ...because that's what we're making :-)
Strawberry Jam recipe ...because not having jam for our scones would be a crime!

Ingredients
- 450 g flour
- 8 flat teaspoons baking powder
- 50 g sugar
- just less than 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 g cold butter
- 3 dl buttermilk
- (raisins, chocolate chips, dried cherries, cranberries…)
Method
- Preheat oven to 200C (fan assisted), 210C if not.
- Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
- Add cold butter and rub with fingers to make the mixture into fine breadcrumbs.
- Add the sugar and any supplementary ingredients such as sultana's, chocolate chips or cherries if you like.
- Slowly add buttermilk and mix with a knife. Keep adding buttermilk until you have a soft dough. You may not need all the milk so take your time.
- Turn dough out on to a floured surface and briefly knead. (Don't overwork the dough)
- Gently pat and push dough out with hands until 2.5 cm thick. (Do not press too hard or press/twist with rolling pin… Be easy on the dough)
- Cut dough into scones using a pastry cutter or glass. The number of scones depends on the size of the cutter/glass. A 5cm (2 inch) cutter will make 8 lovely large scones. You could do smaller scones in a different shape, like hearts.
- Put scones onto a greased baking sheet or baking paper.
- Brush tops with buttermilk.
- Place in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until risen and golden brown.
- Keep an eye on them.
