Ingredients

8 ounces All-purpose flour

2 ounces Butter

2 tablespoons Sugar

1 teaspoon Baking soda

2 teaspoons Cream of tartar

Milk

1 pch salt

Preparation

Together all dry ingredients. Rub in margarine and mix to a softish dough with milk. Roll out and cut into rounds or shape into two rounds, flatten out with palm of hand and cut into four, making small triangular scones.

Place on a greased and floured baking tin and brush over with egg or milk if liked. Vary by adding sultanas to the above ingredients. 450 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes. 5th runner up and 1st runner up. [Cooker (!) specific instructions.] To make a savoury cheese scone, omit sugar and add 2 to 3 oz. finely grated cheese and seasoning. For wholemeal scones, use half and half wholemeal and plain white flour and omit sugar.
