LOL How true that seems to be! Goomba is obsessed with OT posts but
manages to reply to all of them so she can complain about them being OT. Go
figure.

OB Food: I'm thinking of making Scottish scones this morning. These are
not sweet scones containing with currants or dried fruit. Grandma used to
bake these on a cast iron griddle, which is (unfortunately) in Tennessee.
But I think I can manage with one of Mom's heavy baking sheets.

Scones

2 c. flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. sugar
1-1/3 c. buttermilk
1-1/2 tsp. oil or melted fat (she would have used the fat)

Blend all dry ingredients together. Stir in buttermilk until well mixed,
then stir in the oil. Roll out onto a floured board to 1/2" thick. Cut
into triangles, about 3 inches across at the widest point. Bake on a
greased griddle on high, even heat (about 400 degrees) until golden brown on
each side. Serve with butter, jam and/or thick clotted cream.
