SCONES - Baked inside Hwam 4640c wood burning stove

I love cooking inside wood burning stoves … especially things that push the limits of what should be achievable.

Tonight, I’ve made some homemade scones

90g salted butter
180g of milk
360g of self raising flour
1tsp extra baking powder
A bit of sugar - depending how sweet you like.

Simple crazy recipe

1 part butter to 2 parts sugar to 4 parts flour and make what you like. The above makes 6-8. I do 6 as I like them thick - but makes them a touch trickier to cook.

I am cooking on our Hellfire Pizza Cooker and Grill set. With scones, I keep a low fire to the side with embers under the grill and put the stove in cold.

No time, no temperatures.. it’s all eyeball.

Browning / cooking too quickly on top.... I just flip them over and it balances out. Done these loads of times and it’s good fun.

Why switch on the oven if the stove is lit ?

Do you start the fire then put the grill in or start the fire with the grill in ?

Where did you get your stone &little grill?

I have just given my hubby the hellfire kit for Christmas and we are both looking forward to learning to cook on it. Can I ask which wood you prefer to burn?
