Revamping the Classics: Year 8's Nutritious and Flavourful Scone Creations

In Year 8 Food Technology, students embarked on an exciting culinary challenge: to revamp a basic scone recipe originally composed of just self-raising flour, milk, plain flour, and butter. The objective was to enhance both nutritional value and flavour. Armed with research, students explored various ingredient modifications, considering options like fruits, natural sweeteners and savoury ingredients. On Thursday, they brought their selected ingredients to class, eager to transform the traditional scone into something uniquely their own. 

During the cooking practical lesson, creativity flourished as students integrated their chosen ingredients, resulting in a diverse array of nutritious and flavourful scones. Some added banana, strawberries, caramel, while others incorporated blueberries or dark chocolate for a sweet twist. This hands-on project not only enriched their culinary skills but also highlighted the importance of healthy eating and adding flavour. The revamped scones demonstrated students’ understanding of nutrition, making for a rewarding and delicious lesson. 

A thank you to all the parents of the class who supported the students in bringing ingredients from home to make such beautiful creations. It was a very engaging, creative and successful lesson.
