| Stoneclave Scones These have become a favorite of ours over the
years. There's nothing like a fluffy, hot scone fresh out of the oven, smothered in real
butter and topped with fresh jam!
Ingredients:
* 2 3/4 cups flour
* 1/4 cup sugar
* 2 tsp. baking powder
* 1 egg yolk
* 1/2 tsp. baking soda
* 1 stick butter
* 3/4 cup milk
Directions:
Mix flour, baking
powder and baking soda in large bowl. Cut butter into mixture until the mixture is
crumbly. Add sugar, mix.
Add egg yolk and milk,
mix well. Knead dough slightly and separate into two large balls of dough. Make a
cross-cut to separate each one into four pieces, and place on a slightly greased baking
sheet.
Bake in oven at 425
degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, or until tops are a golden brown.
Serve warm with a pat
of butter and your choice of jam or other topping. Our favorite is fresh raspberry jam!
Scones go great with a hot cup of tea and cream or a mug of your favorite coffee. You can
also create your own flavored scones by adding your favorite ingredients.
