Rosmairi Oven Scones


This recipe is from the 'highland fling' cookbook. My grandmother ordered 4 cookbooks from scotland for herself, my mother & my aunts. It makes a delicious, fluffy scone & we've had tons of requests for the recipe over the years. I have given the exact steps as written, but added our modifications. This makes a sweet scone--perfect for double devonshire cream & some jam.

Steps


Sift together the dry ingredients.
Cut in the butter with a fork or pastry blender till it resembles fine crumbs.
Make a well in the centre& pour in all the milk.
Mix well& turn onto a floured board& knead a little , but not too much.
Divide the dough in two.
Roll each round to almost 3 / 4 of an inch.
Cut the round in four pie-shaped wedges.
Transfer to a greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 f for 15-20 minutes.
Or until done.
