How The Boys Cooking Club Started

In 2010, a 10 year old boy had a great idea to share a passion of cooking with his friends. He wanted to start a club where they could learn about food, cooking and have a fun time together. He invited his friends and they started meeting once a week at his house.
They have learned many things about food (nutrition, different ways to cook eggs, etc..), had some contests (Junior Iron Chef, making meals at home), and had some fun adventures, (like cooking over a campfire and in a dutch oven).

In March 2012 it will be two years since this club was started, and they are still going strong!!

Bon Apetit, Junior Chefs!

British Scones


We enjoyed a treat from our family heritage this week.
The boys cooking club made these scones and ate them with cream, strawberry jam, and honey, with a cup of milk on the side.
Easy British Scones
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup margarine
1/8 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda
and salt into a bowl.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles
fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly and
roll out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the
prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10
minutes then cool on a wire rack. Serve with butter or clotted cream and jam.
