them, and therefore specially suitable for afternoon tea, as well as "Plain Scones." suitable either for breakfast, lun- cheon or tea.

Here are a few tips about scone- making generally:

Always sieve the four and rais- ing before rubbing in the fat.

Use sour milk, or buttermilk, if possible, as they help to neutrallad the alkali in the soda, and also make lighter scones. The exact quantity required varies according to the flour you are using, so al- ways add the milk fairly slowly. The resultant dough should be soft and easily rolled, but never sticky, Roughly about a gill of milk chould be allowed to half a pound of flour; where an egg is included in the Ingredients, a little less.. milk can be used.

Cook scones on a baking tin. sprinkled with sieved flour, and in a hot oven.

scones,
