I just made scones which is my very favouritest recipe and takes hardly 15 mins (including bake time).
White scones with jam and or marg and or butter and or cream cheese!
Brown scones with butter and eaten alongside hot soup or corn on the cob or ......
In any case: with cold milk and or tea.
EnterpriseScribe's EnterpriseSconesPre-heat oven to 450F!!!
1 tbsp white vinegar
3/4 c milk (the higher the % the better)
^^ mix these 2 together first and let sit to curdle
while you mix the other stuff. vv
2 cups flour (brn for dinner scone w/ butter; wht for dessert scone w/ jam)
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
Mix these dry ingred's together in a medium bowl with a whisk (leaving out the milk and vinegar for now).
Take 5 tbsp hard square marg or butter (not softspread) and with *clean* handsknead the butter into the dry ingredients for two minutes until it is evenly distributed and crumbly.
Now! Get your wooden spoon! (or spatula/scraper whatever)
Pour the curdled milk mixture into the dry stuff and beat round and round with your spoon for a whole minute, or until you get a playdoh like ball of dough.
Separate doughball into 8 equal balls and press slightly to make ovoid spheroid whateveroids.
or
Pat whole doughball into circle appx 7-8" wide and 1" thick. Use knife to cut into 8 equal triangular wedges. Separate wedges at least 1" apart.
Best if baked on stoneware-type flat cookie sheet, but any cookie sheet will do.
Bake at 450F for 11-14 minutes (watch carefully!)
They're done when just turning golden brown.
