Cobb Cooking as a Beginner - Scones

Awoke this morning to virtually no power the wild winds had done some damage somewhere along the lines. Had a thought mmmmm just got a Cobb and in the forum they say they use it all the time at home. Grandkids starving and cold so I said I will put the Cobb on, its safe in a caravan should be fine on the dinning room table on a board. Mmmmmmm didnt think of the fire alarms that are run by batteries did I, LOL, wheeeeeee, wheeeeee, grrrr lucky its light, I had to pick it up and get it out quick to a slightly sheltered outside patio before we were all deafened. Luckily the MOTH had gone off to buy the Sunday papers. :)

I had already looked at the scone recipe in the book that came with the Cobb and decided to use a tin of reduced fat cream as this would be more practical when away camping. I mixed this tin with lemonade to make up the two cups in the recipe. I didnt over mix it as I find this will toughen scones so they dont have a prize winning texture on top. I used 3 heat beads as suggested, but with the cold day and wind I didnt feel the heat was quite as high as I would have used normally. I gave them 8 minutes on one side but 15 on the other. Next time I will try 4 heat beads and try 10 minutes either side. I wouldnt say they came out light as a feather but they were OK and would toast ok the next day, if you had any left.
