Kathy,

Thanks. I was thinking that, but when people here make what they call
scones, it's something different. Similar but different. Our biscuits
are often very light and airy. And it's traditional for them to be
short cylinders about an inch-and-a-half high (4 cm) cut from the dough
with a round cookie cutter. Although home made ones are often little
lumps.

Can you tell me what whole meal flour is?

Thanks again,

Ken
