Another memory from my childhood in Scotland
I remember eating Scottish scones in Scotland. Unlike the scones in
England, these were wedge shaped and, I believe, not as sweet. They were thick enough to be split in half and we ate them with butter and jam as with the English ones. Does anyone else remembere them? |

Does anyone else remembere them? > My Scottish grandmother made scones like you're referring to. Grandma Brown's Scones 2 c. flour, sifted 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. sugar 1-1/3 c. buttermilk 1-1/2 tsp. oil or melted fat (she would have used the fat) Blend all dry ingredients together. Stir in buttermilk until well mixed, then stir in the oil. Roll out onto a floured board to 1/2" thick. Cut into triangles, about 3 inches across at the widest point. Bake on a greased griddle on high, even heat (about 400F degrees) until golden brown on each side. Jill |

I don't remember them being sweet. They often put raisins or currants in them, and we add them with butter and jam, or with whipped cream. I occasionally buy a scone in coffee shops, but I find them terribly sweet, not at all like the scones I grew up on. |

You might as well suck on a sugar cube. We used to have a place down the street that made fabulous scones, some of them were *not* common, like the jalapeno flavor. -- See return address to reply by email remove the smile first |
