Stella here.
Well, we got some more snow an' now it's turned cold again. So much f'r th' January thaw. 'Twas nice while it lasted.
I'm settin' here waitin' f'r th' scones t' bake. I ain't made scones f'r some time an' last night Havery was hintin' that they'd be awful good on a chilly end-o'-January mornin'.
I had some o' them dried cranberries an' some raisins, so I just dumped 'em inta th' flour 'fore I mixed in th' milk.
2 cups o' flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 and 1/2 Tablespoons o' bakin' powder
a couple Tablespoons o' sugar - however sweet y' want 'em
1 cup o' milk
(and any dried fruit ya got - if ya like that sort o' thing)
Just mix th' dry stuff t'gether in a bowl an' add th' fruit till it's floury.
Stir in th' milk. It'll make a sticky dough.
I bake on a teflon pizza pan an' just turn th' lump o' dough out onta th' pan an' flatten it out inta a circle with my hands. Then I cut th' circle in 4 parts an' separate 'em a bit an' flatten 'em down a mite more.
I bake 'em at 275 f'r about half an' hour or until a paper clip (unbent) that I stick in comes out clean.
This makes 4 nice scones. I don't like t' keep 'em over. That's why I only make four.
But you could double th' recipe if y' got more'n two or three t' feed.
That's all f'r now. I'm gonna scrub down th' kitchen t'day an' I gotta get busy.
Love,
Stella

My friend, Silkie, loves to eat scones foah tea time. She's a gray seal pup from Scotland, and they eat scones theah, too. Silkie is really adorable: she has white fuh, and black eyes, and she's real soft, too, which is how she gets hehr name. Silkie's favahrite kind of tea is PG tips, England's numbah 1 (but they drink 't in Scotland, too). Myself, I prefuh a live fish ovah them cahb-filled scones and that disgustin' tea any day!
