2 c. all purpose flower
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt (I don't use)
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. buttermilk (I had regular milk so I added 1 Tab apple cider vinegar & waited 5 min)
Even tho the recipe doesn't call for it, I add a couple Tab of sugar
Put dry ingredients together, add butter w/fingers or pastry blender & add buttermilk. Quickly stir to form dough. I roll out even quicker & cut w/a cookie cut. Put on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Dab w/milk & I add pretty colored sugar. Bake at 425 for 10 - 15 minutes.
Where do the mice and men come in?? I went out to water some flower pots and overbaked them. #%$#%@@. Then you can't give them away, you have to eat them all yourself. The second pan turned out better but 15 is too long in my oven. More 10 - 12 minutes.
PLEASE let me know the perfect plain scone recipe I like them soft and light. This recipe is good but I look forward to hearing from you. I will publish a couple of recipes on my blog if you send them to me...Thanks...monah
P.S. They look like scones in person; the photos look like cookies.

Ooooh.. Monah, I love tea and scones. Many years ago, I discovered a quick and easy recipe for scones in our local newspaper. They are delicious. Here's the recipe.. This recipe makes approximately 10-12 scones.
ReplyDelete2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
5 Tbsp unsalted butter
4 Tbsp sugar
3/4 Cup Frozen Non-Diary Creamer (thawed).
1/2 Cup white baking chips (optional)
Pre-Heat oven to 450 degrees.
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Cube and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the size of small peas. Stir in the 4 Tbsp sugar and baking chips. Pour in the Non-Dairy Cream and stir by hand just until the dough is formed. Do not over-mix. Drop approx 1/4 cup of the dough onto a cookie sheet so you'll have about 12 scones.
Sprinkle lightly with sugar and bake for 12 minutes. Serve warm.
They are so easy to make and I make them all the time for myself to serve with a nice pot of hot tea. You'll have to try them and see what you think.
