"Bread and water can so easily be toast and tea." (Anonomous)Or in this case, scones and tea.
Basic British Scones
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
¼ cup margarine
1/8 cup white sugar
½ cup milk
2 tablespoons milk
Preheat oven to 425° F (220° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a ¾-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
Bake at 425° F (220° C) for 10 minutes then cool on a wire rack. Serve with clotted cream and jam.
Makes approximately 12 servings.
