This recipe was brought with me all the way from Scotland. I haven't mastered it yet (I think you need to be Scottish and also a Grandmother to truly make these how they deserve to be made)

Ingredients: 6oz self-rising flour 1tsp (heaping) baking powder 1.5oz margarine 1.5oz sugar 1 egg 2% milk (enough to make a soft, not sticky, not stiff, dough)

Stir flour and baking powder together. Cut in margarine, then pinch dough with hands so that margarine is smooth throughout mixture. Make a hole in the middle of the dough. Beat egg in separate bowl until yolk breaks. Add egg to dough and work in with hands. Add milk and work in until soft dough forms. Roll out dough into about 1/2" thick circle, then cut into quarters. Heat griddle on range to medium heat. Put scone slices on griddle and heat each side until golden brown (this includes heating the top and bottom and all sides of the scone). Serve warm with margarine, honey or jam. Serves 4.
