Versatile Scone Mix Mix together a large quantity of dry ingredients and butter of a plain scone recipe. For each cup of flour add 2 tsp Edmonds baking powder and 20g butter. (I use 10 cups of flour and mix all ingredients in a food processor.) Don't add any liquid. Store this in a container in the fridge. For a small batch of scones, take out 1 - 2 cups and mix with enough milk to make the scone dough. Add cheese etc. for cheese scones, dried fruit for fruit scones and so on. To make pancakes or pikelets add an egg and a little sugar and enough milk to get the right batter consistency. This mix can also be used for dumplings in a stew, and a topping for stewed fruit. It lasts for weeks in the fridge. Seems like a good idea to have it already mixed in the fridge.Idea taken from GrownUps site.

I would have thought the bp and flour would be affected by keeping it in the fridge,so it's a good tip.Thanks lindylambchops.

you can keep cookie dough and in most modern countries can buy itpremade to cook without affecting the raising agents :)
