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. Olwyn Mary in New Orleans. |
