Does this cooking time sound wrong? Scorch-o-rama

café in Scorching Bay have given out their 'famous' cheese scone recipe in yesterdays dompost. The cooking time is 40 mins, the oven temp. is 170 degrees. Thanks

I thought that too. The chef wasn't happy about sharing the recipe so this may be his revenge.

I would cook them at 200 C degrees for 12-15 mins

cgvl, Nov 6, 2:55am
My mother cooks them at that temp, I used to but was told by a chef to put them into a 200-220C oven as high up the oven as you can (without them touching the element.
I cook mine for around 7mins.

samsnan, Nov 6, 3:36am

I am hoping to try these muffins today, even though they do rather go against my belief that I got larger as muffins did, I tie it all in with the Texan size muffin. When I was younger muffins were tiny, as was I.
Has anyone else made the above recipe yet?

samsnan, Nov 7, 10:00pm
Are they muffins? I thought the recipe was for cheese scones.

Cheese scones cooked in Texas muffins tins - for some reason. Looking at the recipe, I'm not that surprised that they apparently take 40 mins to cook @ 170C. They must be pretty big scones, to get only 8 out of 4 cups of flour.

white_elephant, Nov 7, 11:23pm
Yes, you are right, they are scones but cooked in muffin trays.

Nothing that amazing about that recipe. Except a bit of Parmesan. It's probably the quality of the Parmesan that makes the difference. Just looks like my Edmonds recipe with melted butter instead of softened butter.

Reverse the time and temp.
400 deg Fahrenheit and 17 minutes.
Sorted.

That recipe is a variation to nz ministry of food recipe, they are all much the same good cheese and the pepper lifts them to another level. Just make as normal 200-220c oven around 15 mins depending on oven, dont cook in big Texas muffin tins.

We have a "nz ministry of food"?
