"This is the best recipe I have found for plain scones! It is from Flo Bjeilke-Peterson's Country Cooking book, and they come out perect every time. The secret it to hve the tray really hot before you put the scones on."

Excellent scones - light and fluffy, perfect crust. I agree, make sure the tray is hot.<br/><br/>Thanks for the great recipe. -
This makes nice traditional scones, although the original quantity of 1 cup of milk was too much and I have submitted a correction to 1/2cup of milk instead. Lovely with jam and cream! -
Sorry, maybe I did something wrong but I bake alot and never get flops. I new something was wrong when i was pouring the milk in as the dough was too wet so I didn't add all the milk and had to add extra flour. I had the hot tray, kneeded it lightly, and they came out horrible, doughy and hardly rose. My hubby only ate one to be kind and my kids didn't finish them. I was baking them for a friend who was coming for tea, thank goodness she cancelled !!!! -
These were lovely scones Sara. I used 1/2 the recipe and made 7 beautiful scones. I shaped the scones into stars and hearts. They were perfectly cooked, crisp and crunchy on the outside and fluffy, light and tender inside...simply delicious. They were enjoyed at breakfast with Dalmatian Fig & Orange Spread, Whipped Cream and English Breakfast tea. Thanks so much for sharing this treat.

Well..about me! I'm married, I have 2 kids (both boys), and I live in Australia.
I have loved cooking for as long as I can remember, and have become completely addicted to browsing through Zaar looking for new recipes!
I have a small animal shelter for rabbits and guinea pigs, and spend most of my time looking after kids or critters!.
My favourite cookbooks are The Essential Pasta Cookbook, The Central Cookery Book, Flo Bjielkie-Peterson's Country Cookbook, and Greek Cooking (I bought that one in Greece, and it's FANTASTIC). At the minute, we are getting ready to move, which is forcing me to sort through my recipe cabinet. I have been trying out all those recipes that are scribbled on pieces of paper, or torn from magazines, so I can decide ifthey are keepers or not. So far I've found a lot of keepers, and will work at posting them on here.
I'm passionate about a lot of things, mainly my kids, animals, and cooking.
I won't even start on my peeves, we'll be here all night! lol
