Just read up a bit on internet and it looks like it is usual for American scones to have icing or a dusting of icing sugar on top - apparently they are more like rock buns in texture.
Bit of a shock for me - apologies if I appear rude :)

I don't live in America , I live in Kalifornia.
And rudeness is as the heart of our culture, I still have not gotten the live to be offended thing down, so it's all good.
I will keep my eye out for proper scones. Yesterday I saw some dipped in a hard chocolate shell with mini M&Ms on top.
They are real easy to make Jeff. Tastier too.Quote:

250g/2 cups self-raising flour or plain flour and bicarb soda etc
50g/¼ cup butter
2 tbsp caster sugar
125ml/½ cup plain yoghurt or buttermilk
65ml/¼ cup milk
pinch of salt
instructions
Heat the oven to 220c/200c fan/gas mark 7.
Sieve the flour into a large bowl, add the cold butter and gently rub them together with your finger tips.
Gently mix in the salt and sugar.
Whisk the yoghurt and milk together in a jug and then pour the liquid into the dry mix and cut into the mixture with a knife until it starts to come together.
Finish bringing the dough together with your hands (don't over do it), then roll out to 3-4 cm thick on a floured surface.
Cut into circles with a cookie cutter (dont twist it) and place on a baking sheet.
Brush with milk and bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and starting to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
Serve with butter and jam while still warm.
Enjoy!

You can also add any of, dried fruit, cherries and almond flakes if you desire
Thank you Grant,
I don't go near the oven , well not unless I'm doing a Turkey but baking is Nosheens thing.
Burn, burn bright ya heretic! Sultanas and raisins perhaps, but cherries and almonds a bit dubious :eek: Apparently Oliver Cromwell banned mince pies. Merry Christmas, btw... :DQuote:
