I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC where they have a lovely tea room. This is one of the recipes used over the years at their Afternoon Tea. Ingredients:
2 lbs flour, and |
4 ounces flour |
9 ounces sugar |
9 ounces butter (hard) |
2 ounces baking powder |
6 ounces raisins |
6 eggs |
16 ounces whipping cream |
1/8 teaspoon salt (pinch) |
Directions:
1. Crumb flour, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt.
2. Add 5 eggs, slowly and separate the 6th egg and add the white into the batter; the yellow half of the 6th egg is used to do the egg wash.
3. Add raisins.
4. Add cream and mix into a smooth dough.
5. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness.
6. Cut into desired size and shape.
7. Egg wash scones and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
8. Serve with clotted cream and jam.
