Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    Very tasty, the orange vest comes through and is delicious. When doing again, I might add just a dash more milk. I’m a lover of scones, but don’t add sugar to them, so I didn’t add any sugar, and they were way sweet enough especially with the dried fruit. Thanks for sharing ”shecooksforboys” coz so do I!!
