BROWN SCONES
This recipe for savoury scones come from Ruth Isabelle Ross' Irish Baking Book, which I bought while living in Ireland for a year. I think they are very tasty little things. If you find the basic recipe to plain, feel free to add herbs, cheese or other add-ins of your choice. Note: After Toni's review I went back and corrected my mistake concerning the amount of liquid ingredients. It should be fine now.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- In a big bowl mix all dry ingredients.
- Add milk and water and add-ins of your choice. Using your fingers knead into an elastic dough (be careful not to over knead it). If you need more flour just add it and if you need more liquid add more water or milk.
- Flatten the dough to desired thickness and cut out scones of desired size (I use a 7.5 cm round glass for cutting).
- Place scones on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

IRISH BROWN SCONES
A taste of Ireland, these hearty, flaky scones are great warm with butter or jam or dipped into some seafood chowder! Cooking them on a preheated baking sheet gives them a flavor similar to cooking pancakes on a hot griddle.

Tips:

- To make sure the scones are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, the scones are done.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
