Recipe by Angela Martini 

"After much trial and error, I've come up with this basic scone recipe which rivals the scones at Tea & Sympathy in NYC."

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 pinch salt


Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sift the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt into a bowl.
  3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to a soft dough.
  4. Turn onto a floured surface, knead lightly and roll out to a 3/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch rounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with milk to glaze.
  5. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 10 minutes then cool on a wire rack. Serve with butter or clotted cream and jam.
