I love starting a new decade and want to strive to make my thirties even better than my twenties!<br />I loved your list of the forty things you want to accomplish this year. I can't wait to see what the new year has in store for you and your family. :)<br />Beth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-39120446553352841872010-12-30T18:33:39.396-05:002010-12-30T18:33:39.396-05:00Enjoy your 40s---like the rest of time, they go by...Enjoy your 40s---like the rest of time, they go by far too fast! Here's some help for #14 on your list...I was making these for teacher gifts on my bday # 47 on Dec 22...and have been told by English natives that they are "spot on". The recipe is from my (French Canadian) grandmothers 1941 Women's Home Companion Cookbook...<br /><br />Scotch Scones<br />2 cups flour<br />3 tsp baking soda<br />1/2 tsp salt<br />2 Tblsp sugar<br />1/3 cup shortening<br />2 eggs<br />about 1/2 cup milk<br /><br />Sift flour, measure, add baking powder, salt and sugar, sift again.<br /><br />Cut in shortening with a pastry blender, blending it until the mixture resembles coarse corn meal.<br /><br />To slightly beaten eggs add enough milk to make 3/4 cup. Add enough of this mixture tot he flour-fat mixture to make a soft dough, stirring it in with a fork: continue stirring until all of the flour disappears.<br /><br />Turn out on lightly floured board: knead lightly for about 1/2 minute. Pat or roll our about 1/2 inch thick; cut into 4 inch squares: cut each diagonally in half to make triangles.<br /><br />Brush with milk, cream, lightly beaten egg white or egg yolk diluted with 2 tablespoons water: sprinkle with sugar. Place on a greased baking sheet and bake in a hot oven (425'F) for 12-15 minutes. Makes 10-12 scones.<br /><br />Notes from me:<br /> I have used white whole wheat flour for these and they have turned out fine (but not as tender and yummy as all white flour, of course.) <br />For brushing the scones, I always have some of the egg-milk mixture left and just use that.<br />Unless you love scrubbing baking sheets, I recommmend using parchment paper.<br />If you have any experience making biscuits (or even using playdough!) judging the correct texture for the dough should be easy.<br /><br />Hope these work out for you...enjoy your 40's!<br /><br />Happy New Year and Happy December Birthday!old fashioned girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476812197298363951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36124766.post-47894288035798139592010-12-26T21:34:02.622-05:002010-12-26T21:34:02.622-05:00Happy Birthday Jen!
