Old-fashioned Scones
Dear Aunt Daisy, When you were talking of the soda scones one morning, for the elderly gentleman who wanted old-fashioned scones, I remembered a recipe an old aunt of ours used to make. She liked buttermilk for them, but sour milk will
do. The recipe was 1b. flour, 42 teaspoon baking soda; pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon each of butter and sugar, 2 cup buttermilk or sour milk.. It was all beaten with a fork, but if the milk wasn’t sour enough, 4% teaspoon of cream of tartar was added. The scones were cooked on a hot tray in a very hot oven, in a big round shape, and marked with a knife, so that they could be broken into four pieces. I think it is supposed to be an Irish recipe.
Constant
