http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes Scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream Ingredients • 500g/1lb 2oz flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting • 2 teaspoons of baking powder • 100g/3½oz butter, softened, cut into cubes, plus extra for greasing • large pinch salt • 40g/1½oz caster sugar • 300ml/10½fl oz full-fat milk, plus extra for glazing To serve • butter • fresh clotted cream • good-quality strawberry jam Preparation method 1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7. Grease a large baking tray with butter. 2. In a large mixing bowl, rub the flour, baking powder and butter together, using your fingertips, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the salt and sugar and stir until combined. 3. Gradually add the milk in a thin stream, stirring continuously, until the mixture comes together as a dough. (NB: You may not need all of the milk.) 4. Knead the dough lightly in the bowl until smooth and soft. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more milk. 5. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then roll it out to a 2.5cm/1in thickness (no thinner). 6. Using a sharp knife, cut four 7cm/2¾in squares or rounds from the pastry and place them onto the prepared baking tray. Re-roll the remaining pastry offcuts out to a 2.5cm/1in thickness and cut two more squares or rounds. Add them to the baking tray. 7. Brush the tops of the scones with a little of the milk, then bake in the centre of the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until well risen and golden-brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. 8. To serve, cut the scones in half and spread with butter, then with clotted cream, then with strawberry jam. Eat warm or cold.

The Pirates ! In an adventure with scientists

Sarah — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 10:30:00 -0400

In The Pirates! Band of Misfits, Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain - a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
