I grew up in Ryhope, went to school in Seaham Harbor, married a man from
Fulwell, then a week after the wedding we flew across the Atlantic and have
lived on this side of the pond ever since.

Oh, DEAR Olwyn Mary, may I please have your recipe? I keep trying every
one that's printed in the newspaper, but I just can't find a recipe
adjusted for U.S. ingredients! They all seem to produce that heavy
too-sweet cakey stuff USA-ans have had foisted on them. Scones, my eye.
scornful sniff

Olwyn Mary here. Sorry I didn't reply before, but your message just showed up
now when someone else quoted it. I swear, my server only gives me half the
posts!!

Anyway, scones are such a personal thing, everyone has a different idea of how
they should taste. I generally just use the one in the Be-Ro Flour cookbook,
which I brought with me as a bride, but I substitute "best butter", i.e.
unsalted, for half the shortening, and then add a healthy handful of currants.

However, if you are interested in authentic British recipes, adapted for
American ingredients, you might look out for a used copy of "Great British
Cooking, a well-kept secret." by Jane Garmey, published by Random House in
1981. This book was written by an Englishwoman living in New York, and most of
her recipes are really good, in fact her fishcakes are dreamy, although IMO she
puts too many eggs in Yorkshire Pudding.

p.s. Your local Public Library may either have it, or could get it for you on
Inter-Library loan for you to have a look at it.

I have to say, I'd prefer New Orleans to Ryhope ))

Yerss, werll, you'll notice I'm still here, not back there, even though DH is
planning to retire next Feb!!!!!!

Now, Durham itself is a different question. But we're still staying over here,
cuz this is where our kids and three grandbabies are.)
