After much trial and error, I’ve come up with this basic scone recipe which rivals the scones at Tea & Sympathy in NYC.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup margarine
- 1/8 cup white sugar
- ½ cup milk, or as needed
- 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Sift flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt into a bowl.
Step 3
Rub in margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough.
Step 4
Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
Tips
Serve with butter or clotted cream and jam.
