Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. One quart of sifted flour, one-half pint of buttermilk, one tablespoon of butter, one tablespoon of sugar, one-half teaspoon of baking soda, one-half teaspoonful of salt;
  2. rub the butter into the flour, add the sugar and salt, stir the soda into the buttermilk, and mix into the flour, making a smooth paste, then roll it out to a thin sheet and cut it into triangular pieces, flour a tin and put the scones on and bake them directly from thirty to forty minutes, just before they are done take them out and brush over with milk, put back in oven to glaze.
  3. (These are good either hot or cold.)
