Scones Moms recipe

 This is how my mom taught me to make scones.
In a bowl like a 4 cup measuring jug place 2 cups of flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
A dash or pinch of salt
 In a cup measure ¼ cup oil
Add a dash of vinegar (about 2 tablespoons or so)
Fill it with milk
Now add this and one beaten egg to the dry ingredients.
Using a butter type knife cut through the mixture then scrape the side. Using the knife to cut the liquid in makes you not overmix it.
Once it is all mixed in turn out onto some wax wrap.
Fold the wax wrap over and pat the dough down to about ¾ inch thick.
Open it up and cut with a cutter.
Place on baking sheet. Fold any leftover dough together using the wax wrap and cut again till all the dough is used.
Bake at 400 for about 8 minutes or till golden just beginning to turn.

Serve warm with butter (or margaine) and jam or lemon curd. Top with whipped cream I cheat and use the can type.

 Enjoy
