8 scones
Buttermilk Scones
8 ounces self-raising flour (preferably self-raising soda bread flour)

For Cheese & Herb Scones add mustard, cheese and herbs to the dry
ingredients at this point.
Make a well in the centre and pour in the egg and most of the
buttermilk.
Mix quickly to form a soft dough, adding a little extra buttermilk if
necessary.
Turn out onto a floured surface and roll out lightly until 1" thick.
Working quickly, cut into 2" rounds.
Glaze with egg or milk and set on a floured baking sheet.
Before baking, dust scones with cinnamon sugar for Buttermilk Scones or
sprinkle a little grated cheese on top of each scone for Cheese& Herb
Scones.

Ingredients :
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups buttermilk)
Preparation :
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Slowly pour in the buttermilk, stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon until it forms a shaggy dough.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it gently until it comes together into a smooth ball.
Place the dough onto a greased baking sheet and score the top with an "X" using a sharp knife.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Ingredients :
2 cups All-purpose flour
2 cups Whole-wheat flour
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking soda
3 tablespoons Chilled stick margarine
cut into small pieces
11/3 cups Low-fat buttermilk

Vegetable cooking spray
Preparation :
"The secret to this tender bread is in your hands: don't overwork the
dough--just lightly knead it."
The caption under the accompanying photo says "Irish Wheaten Bread
splits around the middle as it bakes, sort of like a large biscuit."
Combine first 5 ingredients in food processor and pulse until
well-blended. With the processor on, drop margarine through food
chute, and process for 10 seconds.
Combine buttermilk and egg whites; stir well. With the processor on,
pour the mixture through food chute, and process for 20 seconds or until
dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball. Turn the dough out onto a
lightly floured surface and lightly knead about 10 times.
Pat the dough into an 8-inch round cake pan coated with cooking spray,
and cut a 1/4-inch-deep X in top of the dough. Bake at 375 deg. F for 45
minutes or until lightly browned. Remove bread from pan and let cool
completely on a wire rack. Cut bread into wedges.
Ingredients :
1/4 pound Butter
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
2-1/2 cups Flour
2-1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Milk
1 cup Raisins
Preparation : Cream butter and sugar. Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and add to butter mixture alternately with milk. Add raisins. Pour into 8 X 8-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees one hour.
Ingredients :
1/4 pint/ 125 milliliters/ 1/2 cup lukewarm milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fresh yeast
8 ounces/ 250 grams/ 2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon mixed spice, pinch salt
1 egg, 3 tablespoons butter
6 ounces/ 200 grams/ 2 cups mixed fruit
(currants, sultanas, raisins, candied peel)
1 gold ring (in greaseproof paper)
2 ounces/50 grams/2 tablespoons caster sugar
Preparation :
Cream the yeast and the sugar and allow to froth up in the milk, which
should be at blood heat. Sieve the flour, caster sugar and spice and rub
in the butter. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and
the egg, beaten. Beat with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes until a
good dough forms. The fruit and the salt should be worked in by hand;
the gold ring wrapped in greaseproof paper should then be added, and the
whole kneaded. Put in a warm bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm
place for about an hour until doubled in size.
Knead lightly and place in a lightly-greased 7-inch /15-cm. diameter
cake tin and allow a further 30 minutes rising time. Bake near the top
of a pre-heated oven at gas mark 6, 400°F, 200°C for 45 minutes. On
removing from the oven the brack can be glazed with a syrup made from 2
teaspoons sugar dissolved in 3 teaspoons boiling water.
Ingredients :
4 cups Stone Ground Whole wheat flour
2 cups White flour
1-1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 teaspoons Baking soda
2 cups Buttermilk or sweet milk
Preparation :
Mix the whole wheat flour thoroughly with the white flour, salt, and
soda. Make a well in the center and gradually mix in the liquid. Stir
with a wooden spoon. You may need lass, or more liquid - it depends on
the absorbent quality of the flour. The dough should be soft but
manageable.
Knead the dough into a ball in the mixing bowl with your floured hands.
Put on a lightly floured baking sheet and with the palm of your hand
flatten out in a circle 1-1/2 inches thick. With a knife dipped in
flour, make a cross through the center of the bread so that it will
easily break into quarters when it is baked.
Bake at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 degrees and
bake a further 15 minutes.
If the crust seems too hard, wrap the baked bread in a damp tea cloth.
Leave the loaf standing upright until it is cool. The bread should not
be cut until it has set - about 6 hours after it comes out of the oven.
Ingredients :
4 c Flour, all purpose
1 ts Salt
1 ts Baking Soda
1/4 c Butter, chilled
1 c Raisins or currants (option)
1/2 c Honey, liquid
1/4 c Irish Whisky or buttermilk
GLAZE :
2 tsp Irish Whisky
2 tsp milk
Preparation :
BREAD : In large bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. With
pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins or currants (if using). In separate bowl,
combine buttermilk, honey and whisky. Add all at once to dry
ingredients; stir just until no dry spots remain. Turn dough out onto
lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 1 minute (too much handling will
toughen loaves, while too little will inhibit rising.) Divide dough in
half and shape each half into an 8 in (20 cm) round. Place in two
greased 8 in (1.2 L) round cake pans. With floured knife, cut a cross
1/2 in deep in each loaf.
GLAZE : In small bowl, combine whisky and milk. Brush loaves with
glaze. Bake in 350F (180C) oven 35 to 40 minutes or until loaves sound
hollow when tapped on bottoms. Remove from pans; let cool on wire racks.
Cut into wedges.
8 servings.
