BEST EVER BRITISH SCONES
Hot scones, served as they are removed from the oven,
are an English specialty.
A MUST for five o'clock tea.
Serve with butter and jam.
Oven temperature: 425 degrees middle rack.
This is what you'll need for 8 scones:
2 c. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. butter
3/4 c. buttermilk
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, & salt.
Add butter.
Combine with your fingers, a wooden spoon or a pastry blender
until coarse crumbs form.
Add buttermilk.
Quickly stir to form dough.
Divide dough in half.
Form each half into a ball.
Flatten to a round. Place on lightly greased baking sheet.
Cut each crosswise into 4 pieces but not all the way through.

Bubble & Squeak
Here is one recipe we like.
It originally came from a website on British foods
& was created by Duncan and Alice Johnston, a Scottish couple.
Bubble and Squeak
6 large potatoes
1/4 head of cabbage
1/2 cup cooked ham or bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
white pepper
salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Boil & mash the potatoes.
Fry the chopped onions until brown
& add to the mashed potatoes.
Roughly chop the cabbage &
boil in salted water until just cooked.
Drain & add to the mashed potatoes
together with the chopped cooked ham or bacon.
Season with white pepper (black will work too)
& salt to taste.
Allow to cool slightly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet.
Shape the bubble and squeak mixture into large balls,
place in the hot oil,
& flatten down with a spatula to make pancake like shapes.
Cook until golden brown, turn, and repeat for the other side.
Serve immediately.
Traditionally, this dish was served sprinkled with vinegar,
though we prefer to omit the vinegar. Good with roasts and poultry.
