I went to England about 4 years ago with a girlfriend. We went to the British Library and I bought this book called "Recipes for an English Tea". Perfect for Saturdays tea party. I love making the traditional sweet scones from this book.
Sweet Scones
lb flour
a little salt
oz currants
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon of carbonate of soda
3 oz sugar
3 ox butter
1/2 pint milk
Mix together flour, cream of tartar, carbonate of soda and salt. Then run in the butter, sugar and the same quantity of currants. Mix the whole to a smooth dough. with about 1/2 pint of milk; cut into shapes and brush over with an egg. Bake 20-30 minutes.
