StephenFord 866 Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 All this baking - there's going to be some doors worth knocking on about mid-morning tomorrow ! Shall I bring some Devon cream up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Clotted cream, Strawberry Jam (Raspberry for me if you don't mind) and just to be really really naughty, some Lurpak butter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 #43 Darkazana, Thank-you for your recipe, this is my first attempt. Better than my past efforts. As we speak, most of them have already been eaten! Yum Yum Yum 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 I consider myself a dab hand at making scones: I either make fruit scones with sultanas or dates - these are delicious - or I make plain scones and serve them with Strawberry Jam and Double Cream....................

Pixie 162 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 No one on the thread a fan of cheese scons then? lovely with a spreading of butter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Oh yes, yes Pixie! Provided you are going to eat them up quickly (and who wouldn't), add a pinch of mixed herbs and a bit of chopped onion to the mix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixie 162 Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 Minus the herbs.. but some caramelized onions don't go a miss! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 It's interesting reading how English has and still is evolving, over here, stateside, there are still some remnants of old English still used in everyday speaking, like "I dove into the water" or "He pled guilty" Presumably you're talking about the US/UK divide? I've been expressly told by a retired US solicitor friend that US English is based on the dictionary that went over with the founding fathers. That is the reason for some of the different spellings and, even, pronunciations. It's the Brits that have changed the language not the Americans. What I don't get about the US language is the way they bastardise latin derived works such as "paedofile". Paed means 'child' in Latin but 'ped' (as they say it) means 'foot'. So, how do they manage with such things in court? I'm surprised some clever wag hasn't used that to get off a charge. And, it's scone as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeestonMick 263 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 Oh my lord yes! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted December 8, 2015 Report Share Posted December 8, 2015 But Ian, what about 'gone' and 'done'. They have an 'e' at the end as well, so it could be ' scon' or even 'scun'. Or what about the Stone of Scone? I was told it is pronounced 'scoon'. What a strange language we have! I think there are 7 ways to pronounce the letters 'ough' within a word.... enough (uff) through (oo) though (o) thought (or) bough (ow) trough (off) Peterborough (a, or similar depending where you live!) I say scone with a long 'o' same as you anyway! All this talking about them is making me hungry - must make some from the old Be-Ro recipe book with the pages that keep falling out...
