SCOTCH SCONES
These were originally made by my Granny and are slightly sweeter and flatter than most scones. They are easy to make too - the no bake method allows me to make these on the hottest days of summer, which make them my family's favorite camping treat.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter by rubbing the mixture between your fingers until the mixture is fine and crumbly; stir in the raisins. In a small bowl, mix together the egg and milk; mix with dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch in thickness. Dip cutter into flour, and stamp out scones. You may need to re roll the dough to get 12.
- Heat dry non-stick griddle over medium heat. Cook each side of the scone until slightly raised and golden brown in color. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:
- Must have a griddle if want to be stovetop, but may also try 350°F oven (I don't know how long because I always use griddle).
- Sift together dry ingredients then cut in butter or lard. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk.
- Stir until a soft dough mix. Roll out with rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut into squares and then fry on a hot greased griddle as if pancakes, but will be thicker.
- Brown both sides or a oven as mentioned above.
- Serve hot or cold with frosting or powdered sugar. I like butter alone.
SCOTCH SODA SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat the girdle and grease lightly' Mixing and Shaping : mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar into a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the oil and sour milk and salt. Mix to a soft pliable dough. Do not overmix or the scones will shrink when baked. Turn out onto a floured board. Flour on top and divide into two. Roll each piece into a circle about 1 cm thick. Bake on the girdle for about 4-5 minutes on one side. Turn and bake on other side till cooked through. Serve warm with butter and strawberry jam.
Tips:
- Choose the right flour. Traditionally, Scotch scones are made with a combination of plain flour and oatmeal. This gives them a slightly coarse texture and nutty flavor. However, you can also use all-purpose flour if you prefer.
- Use cold butter. This will help to create flaky layers in your scones. Be sure to cut the butter into small pieces before adding it to the flour mixture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make your scones tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined and then shape them into scones.
- Bake the scones at a high temperature. This will help them to rise quickly and evenly. Bake the scones for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
- Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, with butter, jam, or cream.
Conclusion:
Scotch scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Scotch scones every time.
