BEST EVER BRITISH SCONES

Hot scones, served as they are removed from the oven, are an English specialty. A MUST for five o'clock tea. Serve with butter and jam.

Preparation: easy. Cost: inexpensive. Preparation time: 30 minutes; total baking time 10 minutes. Oven temperature: 425 degrees middle rack.

This is what you'll need for 8 scones:

2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. buttermilk

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add butter. Combine with your fingers, a wooden spoon or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form. Add buttermilk. Quickly stir to form dough.

Divide dough in half. Form each half into a ball. Flatten to a round. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Cut each crosswise into 4 pieces but not all the way through. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot. Is properly served with Earl Grey tea, of course!

I thought tea was at four o'clock? No sugar? I'll try it but I will put some sugar in it. Sounds easy.

The ingredients and temperature/timing worked for me (15 minutes). And I appreciate all recipes that don't have sugar. However, how they recommended rolling it out didn't work for me. Treating it like biscuits worked, though - rolling it out and using a glass to cut the biscuits. I got ten biscuits doing it that way. Rolled the dough about 3/4-inch thick.

What about clotted cream, anyone have a recipe for that?
