Serving Size : 8





List of Ingredients



• 2 cups All-purpose flour
  
• 1 teaspoon Cream of tarter
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  
• 1/4 cup Butter or margarine -- diced
  
• 1/2 cup - 2/3 cups milk
  
• Oil for greasing
  
• Milk -- for glazing
  
• Strawberry or raspberry jam
  
• Whipped cream
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
   
2. Grease a large baking sheet.
   
3. Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt
   together, then sift again into a large bowl.
   
4. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs.
   
5. Make a well in the center.
   
6. Pour in 1/2 cup milk and mix together to form a soft, but not sticky, dough, adding more milk if it is necessary.
   
7. Shape the dough into a ball, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and kneed lightly and briefly until it is smooth. (The dough should be mixed quickly and handled as lightly
   as possible; otherwise, the scones will be tough and heavy.)
   
8. Pat or lightly roll out dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch.
   
9. Cut into scones with a 2 1/2 inch round pastry cutter.
   
10. Press cutter down firmly and sharply, without twisting it; then lift it up and gently shake out the scone.
    
11. Lightly knead the trimmings together, pat or reroll them, and cut out more scones until all the dough has been
    used.
    
12. Brush the tops of the scones with milk and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
    
13. Bake for 10-12 minutes until browned.
    
14. Wrap in a clean towel and cool completely.
    
15. To serve, cut each scones across into halves.
    
16. Spead the bottom half with the jam and the top with
    the whipped cream. Lightly replace the top half.
