After much trial and error, I've come up with this basic scone recipe which rivals the scones at Tea & Sympathy in NYC. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 pinch salt |
1/4 cup margarine |
1/8 cup white sugar |
1/2 cup milk |
2 tablespoons milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough.
4. Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
5. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 minutes then cool on a wire rack. Serve with butter or clotted cream and jam.
