Aaah, measurements I can relate to! lovely Imperial measurements, not those nasty metric things that don't mean anything and don't conjure up a picture of exactly what 225g looks like. Now tell me it's 8oz and I know just how much to tip onto the scale before I have to be careful and make it balance.
Anyhoooo, just 30 minutes later this is what I had
Currant scones on the left and Cranberry scones on the right. As I made them I realised that I could make them for Mr M as treats because they do not contain sugar - nor sweetener.
I have now tested them with just a scrape of butter and they are delicious. I had quite forgotten how good I am at scones.
OH oh, you will see that my scones are wedge shaped. This is simply because I was taught at Agricultural College and so I don't use a rolling pin I just pat out a circle with the dough and then cut it in wedges so I don't have to wash a cutter either because I use the knife I cut the butter with when making them. They taste better in wedge-shapes too.

Must cut down on waste, using the wedge technique - or at least on all he pulling scraps together and re-rolling. I am going to remember this! They look absolutely delicious. Did you glaze them?
Yes I used a beaten egg glaze. It was part of the teaching at college to finish things with a glaze.
They look very good. We were talking about scones here this morning and the phase my sister had of making them a lot - not at Agricultural College, but at school Home Economics: a staple for teachers, then!
I love this story. It speaks of a simpler time and the joys which go along with them. Thank you for sharing,

I love scones, but have never made them. I have that old cookbook. I'll have to look them up!
I've never made scones in a wedge - they look lovely!
They look fabulous, I love scones so much and it's ages since I made any...
Oh I like scones and I've done them wedge shaped too :)
Oh they look delicious and funnily enough I'm nibbling away at a Cranberry Orange one right now. I've never had one that wasn't wedge shaped or seen one that wasn't.
