Well, here they are, as promised 2 x blogs ago!
We are mightily impressed. Well done Natalie for coming up with the idea of putting blackberries into scones. I wish I had thought of it myself years ago, and I have added many interesting things to scones in my baking history (some of them not even intended...!)
here is the basic scone recipe we usually use, and you can add practically anything you like, at the dry ingredients stage.
good basic recipe for scones
(sorry for the imperial measurements - it 's a traditional family mix - simply handed down)
- 10 oz self raising flour (sifted)
- 2 oz margarine or butter
- 1 tbsp (generous) sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 x large egg
- 1/4 pint milk
- add cream of tartar to sieved flour and rub in fat until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs
- add sugar
- add ingredients of choice, for flavour eg. sultanas, dates and walnuts... or blackberries!
- mix in beaten egg/milk mixture to form stiff dough.
- Press lightly out onto floured surface.
(do not over-work dough, or scones will be leathery in texture)
Cut out and cook on a baking tray for approx 12 mins in hot oven.
