orange scones with cheese II

notes

• orange peel works, but find the correct type of orange. haha maybe use SUNKIST instead of mandarin oranges… oops.
• adding one egg works
• add sugar if the flavour (orange) is sour
• processed cheese wont work too well — should really try using the block kind of cheese
• really bad error made was that twice the amount of milk was added. sheet.
• they taste nice with tea. :D

in future…

• don’t use mandarin oranges for the peel
• add about 1/2 cup milk (125 – 150ml) will do
• flavour not strong enough — add more peel? of two oranges maybe.

orange scones with cheese I

notes

• add milk slowly (don’t ever forget! — liquids must always be added to solid mixture bit by bit)
• remember that orange juice contributes to liquid content of the dough, so moderate the amount of milk down
• citric acid in orange juice might react with milk and coagulate it. use orange peel
• KRAFT sliced cheese melts too easily and browns too fast — before the scone is well-cooked on the inside

in future

• use less milk, if adding milk slowly doesn’t work?
• use orange peel – more taste, less liquid
• use more flour? since liquid content can be varied easily through milk, but flour content cannot.
• use a harder cheese and dice it maybe?
• look out for dough texture, has to be there!!
• add sugar for scones with walnuts or figs?
• add eggs?
