Sydney Cider Scones

 By Sally Cinello 2021

Best served warm straight out the oven with your choice of jam & some whipped cream

Ingredients

525gm self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting 

250ml thickened cream 

250ml The Original Sydney Cider

 

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°c. Line some baking trays with silicone baking sheets or baking paper.
  2. Hand mix the flour, cream & cider in a bowl until the flour is mostly combined. Don’t over mix it as it will make the scones tough! The dough should be soft and fairly sticky.
  3. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently, just enough to bring the dough together. 
  4. Press the dough to 2.5cm thick & using a floured round cutter ( I used a 6cm wide cutter) cut your scones – Press the cutter up & down –  don’t twist as it will affect how they bake. Make sure to flour your cutter in between cutting each one as the dough is really sticky. 
  5. Gently place them on the baking trays, using a knife helps. 
  6. Brush the tops lightly with milk. 
  7. Bake for 15 minutes until golden on top.
  8. Place on rack to cool.

Salt flakes for topping 

Oil for bowl

 

Method

  1. Warm the beer to 45°c or if you haven’t a thermometer to lukewarm temperature   
  2. In a stand mixer with the dough hook attached, add the warm beer, sugar & salt, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes, or until it starts to get frothy. 
  3. Add the butter and the flour. Turn the mixer to low to medium speed and mix until dough comes together.
  4. Increase the mixer speed to medium and knead for 4-5 minutes. (If you haven’t got a mixer with a hook then you can mix as above & then have to knead it by hand until it is smooth)
  5. Dough should be smooth and clinging to the dough hook (not stuck to the side of the bowl).
  6. In a clean bowl, add enough oil to brush/coat the side of the bowl. 
  7. Quickly form the dough into a ball and place in the bowl, turning once to coat the dough in oil.
  8. Cover with a tea towel  or gladwrap , then allow to rise for about an hour, until the dough has doubled in size.
  9. Preheat oven to 220°c
  10. Line two baking trays with silicone cooking mats or greaseproof baking paper 
  11. Mix the Bi-carb soda & water in a large saucepan & bring it to the boil.
  12. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 8 equal pieces. 
  13. Roll into a rope shape 60cm long, then bring the two ends of the rope up to form a “U” shape. Twist the two end pieces around each other once, then cross the end pieces back down to the bottom of the “U” to form the pretzel shape, pinch the seams down.
  14. When all pretzels are shaped, add them 2 at a time to the pot of boiling water & boil them for 30 seconds. Then remove them from the water with a large spatula and place on the baking trays. 
  15. Brush each pretzel with the egg mixture and sprinkle them with salt.
  16. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until browned.

Cider Sauteed Red Cabbage

Ingredients

20gm Butter

1 small brown onion, diced 

500gm Red cabbage, thinly sliced 

1 Granny Smith apple, peeled/cored and chopped

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 teaspoon ground mixed spice

30gm soft brown sugar

1 Tablespoon Apple cider vinegar

100ml The Original Sydney Cider

Salt to taste 

Method

  1. Melt the butter in a non stick saucepan ( one that has a lid)  & then add the onion, cabbage & apple – give it a good stir to coat cabbage etc in butter 
  2. Add the orange zest, spice & sugar, stirring it well to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Add the cider vinegar, stir & add the lid on to steam for a few minutes.
  4. Add the apple cider, give it a good stir, bring it to the boil & then reduce to a  simmer. Add salt to your individual taste. Simmer over low heat with the lid on for 1 hour or more stirring regularly – the steam created on the lid will keep the cabbage hydrated but you can add etc cider if it starts to stick. Cook until cabbage is tender 

I served this red cabbage with the pretzels above, pork sausages & homemade sauerkraut.

Cider, Cauli, Pork Sausage Pasta

 By Sally Cinello

Ingredients

6 Italian pork sausages, cut into bite size pieces 

1 small brown onion, diced  

2 garlic cloves, diced up small 

100ml Sydney Original Cider

1 can diced tomatoes

2 Tablespoons tomato paste 

2 teaspoons Italian dried herbs

Salt & Pepper 

200gm cauliflower, cut into small florets

500gm packet of pasta shapes 

 

Method

  1. Fry the sausages in a non-stick saucepan until browned (pork sausages normally release a lot of fat so I don’t use any oil to fry them but should the sausages you use not release any fat or start to stick then add some olive oil to the pan) 
  2. Add the onions, stir & cook until golden.
  3. Add the garlic, stir & cook for a few minutes.
  4. Add the cider, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs, salt & pepper (to your taste) simmer for a minimum of 30 minutes to reduce the sauce & develop the flavour -the longer the better. 
  5. When the pasta sauce is nearly ready, bring a large pan of salty water to the boil & cook the pasta for 3 minutes less than the instructions state. 
  6. When the pasta is ready, drain off a large cup of the water that the pasta was cooked in – keep to the side. 
  7. Add the pasta & cauliflower florets into the sausage/ cider sauce mixture & give it a good stir. Then a little at a time add the pasta water you had saved, stirring/cooking for a few minutes until the cauliflower is cooked & the pasta is al dente or to your taste. 
  8. Serve with parmesan cheese
