May 7th is the date set for the Athol Recreation “Cream Tea”.

We are looking for some intrepid bakers who have a light hand to bake

some scones for this scrumptious event.

If you feel inclined we are including a recipe for a dozen scones.

If you have your own favourite scone recipe please feel free to use it too.  

All donations are happily  accepted.

If you would like to donate please contact me at:

Jam preserves would also be welcomed.

Pick ups can be arranged for the Wednesday morning.

Many thanks.

Here is the recipe:

Worlds Best Scones

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

4 teaspoons of baking powder

1/4 cup white sugar

1/8 teaspoon salt

5 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup dried currants or raisins

1/2 cup milk

1/4 cup sour cream

1 egg

1 Tablespoons  milk

Directions:

1 . Preheat oven to 400 degrees

2 . Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl.

     Cut in butter using a pastry blender or rubbing between fingers

     until it is pea sized lumps. Stir in the raisins. Mix together 1/2 cup

     milk and sour cream in a measuring cup.  Pour all at once into dry

     ingredients, and stir gently until well blended. Overworking the

     dough results in terrible scones.

3 . With floured hands, pat scone dough into balls 2 to 3  inches across,

     depending on what size you want. Place onto a greased baking sheet,

     and flatten lightly. Let the scones barely touch each other. Whisk

     together the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk. Brush the tops of the

     scones with egg wash. Let them rest for 10 mins.

4 . Bake for 10 to 15 mins. in the preheated oven, until tops are golden

     brown, not deep brown.  Break each scone apart.

     Have fun!

Thanks for your help

Carol
