Scones question

I would love to have it, have you considered copywriting it so if something does happen that you
do not like you can take action? Lee Amberle3 <[email hidden]> wrote in message

As this is a family recipe, it might be a good idea to register copyright formally, though with
anything you write yourself, this is yours anyway.

I have only had English Scones one time and that was in Bibury, England. They reminded me of what us
Americans call a buttermilk biscuit with golden raisins baked in it. It was served with strawberry
jam and clotted cream. We had them in a small tea shop for afternoon tee when visiting this small
quaint village in the Cotswold's ( I think it is in the Cotswold's). Also, at the time,I was with my
former husband who is from Yorkshire.

I was watching a show on FoodTV Canada today and it drove me nuts. The show focused on tea parties
and included how to make scones. They also mentioned that scones are also known as tea biscuits.

My grandparents were from the UK, and my grandfather did his part in handing down a family recipe
for scones that has been in existence for at least 8 generations. They're Yorkshire Scones, I have
no idea if this makes them different from regular UK scones or not. But they're nothing like
anything I've ever had the misfortune to eat here that was called a "scone". Most store or bakery
scones are made with baking soda and butter, rolled out and cut into circles. My Yorkshire Scones
are made with baking powder and shortening, patted into a circle and cut into wedges, then brushed
with milk and sprinkled with sugar before baking.

My grandparents were always very aggravated when someone would offer them a "scone" and it would
be this hard, round tea biscuit.

I'm now all confused, because no one other than my family seems to think that scones are anything
other than the hard, round tea biscuits.

What does everyone else out there know as "scones"? Does my family recipe sound at all familiar
to anyone?

I am familiar with the scones you speak of, we used to get
them at a Tea Room (long closed now) across the bay from CFB
Trenton (this was roughly 1985). They were served with Devon
Cream and strawberry preserves, (a real "Party for your
Tastebuds"😉. I would love a copy of your grandparents recipe
if you have it, maybe I could make it for my skinny friends.
