Well the mail man made my day by delivering the long awaited Books, Cooks and Crooks by Lucy Arlington to my door, though I am not yet through The Silence of the Library from Miranda James, I am looking forward to starting this one soon. While I savor The Silence of the Library and my 4th scone with Double Clotted Cream (Devonshire Cream) and Raspberry Jam. I thought you may enjoy my scone recipe for yourself.
Karen Mom of Three's Afternoon Scones
Pre heat your oven to 400F
2 cups of all purpose flour
4 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup of butter, margarine or lard
1/3 cup of white sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup of milk
In a mixing bowl combine your flour, sugar, baking powder and fat. Mix until they resemble bread crumbs. In a measuring cup place your egg and milk, use a fork to combine them and pour into the flour mix. fold into your flour mix until well combined. Then spoon drop (Or you can use a cookie scoop) onto a parchment lined baking sheet, 2 inches a part, place in oven and bake until golden brown.
Cool slightly and then sever warm with Doubled Clotted Cream and Raspberry Jam.
Enjoy,
Karen Mom of Three
I have never had a scone. I may have to try your recipe!
ReplyDeleteI do love scones when having a high tea somewhere, and this sounds so easy! I just finished Books, Cooks and Crooks and it is very good. I hope you enjoy it too.
