A Golden Week treat.
In case you are stuck inside here is a simple scone recipe. Instead of an oven you simply cook in a frying pan. An electric pan is fine.
Girdle Scones.
• 1 cup flour 250grams
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 Tablespoon of butter
• pinch of salt
• About 1/2 cup of milk
Sift the dry ingredients (flour, salt and baking powder) into a bowl
Rub in the butter.
Add enough milk to make a soft dough. If too dry add more milk. If too sticky add more flour.
On a floured board shape into a circle or square.
Roll it out so it's about 1.5 cm thick and cut into 6 or eight squares.
Cook in a medium to hot pan with a little bit of butter. They have to be turned over. Serve hot with butter and jam. Yummy :-)
You can add raisins, or cheese or anything you want to the mixture. It isn't sweet so for sweet scones add some sugar.
