CWA Scone Mix 4 x 1kg Carton

Easy to make, versatile, soft and delicious every time. Laucke scone mix contains a selection of quality ingredients to give a soft, moist and elastic dough to produce scones that look attractive and taste even better.

METHOD FOR PLAIN SCONES

1. Combine 500 g pack of Country Women’s Scone Mix with 230 ml water. Country Women know that excellent scones require more moisture and kneading than is common practice.
2. Knead dough vigorously until soft, smooth and sticky, and you will be rewarded with softer, moister scones that stay fresher, longer. This is easily achieved in a mixer with a paddle attachment, mixing for 3 minutes at medium speed.
3. Scrape on to a floured board to rest for 5 minutes, where the dough will lose stickiness.
4. Dust and roll out to 2.5 – 3 cm thickness.  Cut scones and place on a lined baking tray, just close enough so that when baked the scones will support one another as they rise.
5. Gather and combine the dough trimmings, round up and let rest again for 5 minutes. Repeat rolling and cutting.
6. Bake in preheated oven 210 °C (fan forced 200 °C) for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

If in consultation with our customer service team it is determined that a product is not fit for purpose or is damaged in a way that renders it unsafe or unsuitable for consumption then Laucke will work with that customer to ensure they get a replacement product. Any consumer using product purchased from any retail outlet is encouraged to retain their proof of purchase until the product is consumed. If a problem is likely to have occurred whilst the product was in the care of the retailer the product will need to be returned to that retailer for refund or replacement depending upon the policy of the store. Being a food item that is very attractive to a number of different insects it is not uncommon to find some insect activity in products that insects have had an opportunity to drop onto during any stage of the distribution. Refrigeration or freezing will halt insect activity but some evidnce of the activity by way of photograph or returned sample will be required to confirm infestation to allow the replacement process to be followed. The breeding cycle of most insects in ideal conditions is about 20 - 30 days so we can estimate the point of entry by assessing the numbers and amount of incidental matter such as webbing and larvae.
