    1 C. Wesson Oil
    2 C. Sugar
    2 1/2 C. Shredded Zucchini

    SCONES
    2 c Flour
    1/4 ts Salt
    2 ts Sugar
    1 c Milk
    1/8 ts Baking soda
    1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1 1/2 tb Shortening
    1/2 c Currants

    Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening with
    fingers. Add currants and soda to mix and stir into flour mixture with
    a fork. Turn out onto a floured board. Knead slightly and pat or roll
    into 1/2" thickness. Cut into triangles or circles. Bake these on an
    ungreased griddle over medium heat. As one side becomes brown, turn
    and brown the other side, then turn each scone slightly on edge and
    place on side of griddle to the "fire". Turn until all edges are
    slightly browned. The firing will cook the scones through from all
    sides so there will be no raw dough in the center. Split and serve
    with butter, or fill with such as ham or cream cheese.









    GRIDDLE SCONES

    3 1/2 c Flour 1/4 c Shortening or lard
    6 tb Baking powder 1 Egg
    1 ts -salt 1 1/2 c Milk

    *Canadian all purpose flour is very hard; the American equilvant is bread
    flour This recipes comes from the town of Fergus, Ontario, founded by two
    Scots in the 1880s. A girdle is a large cast iron pan.

    Heat flat cast iron pan on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until hot. (To
    test, sprinkle with a little flour; if it browns in 10 to 15 seconds, the pan
    is hot enough.) Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl, stir flour, baking
    powder, salt and sugar; with fingertips, rub in shortening or lard till crumbly.
    Whisk egg with 1 cup of the milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry
    ingredients; pour in the liquid. With wooden spoon, stir to make soft, but not sticky
    dough, adding more milk as needed. Turn out onto floured board, knead 3 or 4
    times. Pat or roll to no more than 1/4 - 1/2 inch. With sharp knife, cut into
    small triangles. Place a few at a time on pan; cook, rotating scones
    occasionally for 5 to 6 minutes or until bottoms are
    browned. Serve hot. MAKES: approx 2 DOZEN

    sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles
    coarse meal. Blend in the milk slowly, using only enough to form a dough that
    will hold together in a cohesive ball. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions
    for rolling. On a floured surface or pastry cloth, roll the crackers thin,
    1/16 to 1/8 inch. If desired, lightly sprinkle the tops with salt and gently roll
    over the dough with your rolling pin. With a sharp knife, cut the crackers
    into 2-inch squares. Transfer them to an ungreased baking sheet. Prick each
    cracker in 2 or 3 places with the tines of a fork. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or

    Mix dry ingredients together well. Cut in shortening with a fork or pastry
    blender until it's the size of peas. Stir in 7-UP, just until mixed. Add a few
    drops more if needed. Gather dough gently into a ball, it shouldn't be crumbly,
    but be smooth and soft. Knead about 10 times, then roll or pat out onto a
    lightly floured surface until about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick. Cut with a floured
    biscuit cutter, or cut into squares or wedges and bake on a greased cookie sheet.
    Gather scraps, knead once or twice and pat out again for cutting. Do not twist
    cutter when using, this prevents the biscuits from rising properly! Serve hot
    with butter. The English serve biscuits (or scones) with fresh raspberry jam
    and a dab of double cream (found in small cans at Safeway). You could probably
    sub. a bit of whipped cream mixed with a bit of sour cream to thicken it,
