 Recipe by: Edinburgh Tearoom, Edinburgh SCONES

    Heat oven to 425 .  Sift dry ingredients together.
 Cut in butter. Add raisins or currents.  Mix
 buttermilk and egg together. Add all at once to flour.
 Mix with fork just until mixture clings together. Form
 into ball, turn out on floured surface and knead
 gently until smooth, not more than 5 turns of the
 dough. Pat out til 1/2 inch thick and cut with a 2"
 cutter. Place on baking sheet 1 inch apart. Brush tops
 lightly with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 10
 minutes until golden brown. Serve with Lemon Curd.

 LEMON CURD

    Beat eggs in top of double boiler. Stir in
 remaining ingredients. Cook over simmering water 30
 minutes, stirring frequently until thick and smooth.
 (I do not use a double boiler, but use a low heat and
 watch closely to prevent burning). When it has
 thickened, remove from heat. It will thicken more when
 cooled. Cool, cover and refrigerate. Keeps 2 to 3
 weeks in refrigerator. This has become a holiday
 breakfast tradition for our family and I give small
 jars of the Lemon Curd as gifts along with the Scone
 recipe for friends who bake.
