 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      c             White flour
    1/2  ts            Baking powder
    1/2  c             Butter -- softened
  2      oz            Sugar
  1                    Egg -- slightly beaten
  2      oz            Milk
                       Sultanas (white raisins)
                       - (optional)
                       Walnut halves (optional)

Mix flour and baking powder. Add butter, blending until mixture is
butter-colored. Add sugar and continue to mix well. Add half the
beaten egg and all the milk. Add raisins or some nuts, if desired,
mixing well to make a sticky dough. Turn dough onto floured board and
knead at least 5 minutes or longer. Cut dough into rounds and place
on greased baking sheet or hot frying pan. Brush tops of scones with
remainder of beaten egg. Place walnut halves on top, if desired. Bake
at 350 to 375°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown. If preparing
over an open fire, heat frying pan until very hot. Place scones in
pan and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook 7 to 8 minutes more.

Yield: 6 Scones
