Buckingham Palace Sconesbreads, quick 1 3/4 cup flour 1 pinch salt 3/8 cup butter 1/2 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 cup sugar 1 small egg 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup raisins Preheat oven to 350 F. Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder. Add sugar and raisins. Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of milk. If mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk.

Center of bottom should be lightly colored. Serve hot. Note: I copied this recipe couple of years ago from a newspaper; supposedly, those are the scones served in the Palace. The recipe came with an article about a guy who used to cook there. Recipe By : Ellen Sudia From: Jean@mcc2.Sws.Uiuc.Edu (Jean Denndate: 16 Apr 1996 21:37:58 Gmt |
