I would love to make a traditional style scone for the holiday. Yes there are many recipes on the internet, but I cannot confirm how original they are. So if any of you Chaps know of a vintage recipe maybe from your Mom or Grandma that you would love to share I will greatly appreciate your gesture.

That would bring a whole new meaning to 'A creamed tea.'

I'm patiently awaiting sdukers... I've tried two Internet recipes
and 1 batch went straight to the garbage. The other ok but not great.

IMO scones should be with sultanas, (not cheese or anything) then served with clotted cream and jam:

OK - semi-seriously, these are the ones my bride bakes on occasion: http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/choc ... cones.aspx

1. They don't suck.

2. They aren't English, Scottish, Irish, or "traditional".

3. Occasional distribution of them to one's neighbors, makes said neighbors most agreeable.

I'm Aussie so not sure if it counts, but I just rang Mum and she said it is important to "rub the butter and flour properly"
It's like laying a good foundation, without which, the whole recipe will fall over...
