My Great Grandfather’s Scottish Scones

Nothing beats these simple scones. They’re great with a little butter or margarine to have for breakfast.

Ingredients:

2 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cold margarine (or butter)

1 egg

2/3 cup milk

Directions:

1) In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients and mix. Add the margarine and combine until crumbly.

2) In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy then stir in milk. Pour into the first mixture and stir to form a soft dough.

3) Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 8-10 times then divide into 2 parts. Cut into 4″ circles and place on prepared baking sheet about 5″ apart.

4) Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Make a “y” shape on each scone then bake in a preheated oven at 375’F for about 20 min or until golden brown.
