Cookessentials:
Buttermilk Scones.(Makes 16) Ingredients: 2 cups self raising flour 1 tsp salt 1 tsp caster sugar 1/2 tsp baking soda 60g butter 2/3 - 3/4 cup buttermilk Method: Sift all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, rub in butter until mix resembles breadcrumbs. Add enough buttermilk to make a fairly soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly. Pat or roll dough to about 1cm thickness. Cut into rounds with a 5cm (2 inch) cutter. Place on un-greased baking trays and bake in a preheated very hot oven (230C/450F) for 10 - 12 minutes or until golden. These are lovely ones to do with jam and whipped cream for afternoon tea.

Oh great response, thanks!I don't have cream or fizzy drink, but am sure I saw just flour & baking powder & milk, which was most successful.I know Juliewn did it with dates.Might use that one & add dates or sultanas, but really wanted them plain to go with the home made jam.

SR flour and water makes damper, as does SR flour and milk, especially trim milk. If you cut the wodge of damper dough into scone shapes, you'll get scones of a sort, that will dry out and harden up pretty fast, as you'd expect with fat-free products. But if you make them just to be eaten within a couple of hours, they'll be fine.

For a scone to eat hot with butter and home-made jam you can't beat Scottish mashed potato 'griddle' or 'girdle' scones.They do not keep, however.
POTATO SCONES 2 c. mashed potatoes 1 1/2 c. flour (more if necessary) 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 tbsp. butter
Mash potatoes well, beat in butter with fork. Sift dry ingredients and add to mashed potatoes. Turn out on slightly floured board and knead with hands and form into a soft ball. Cut in half, roll out until very thin. Cut in triangles. Bake on hot griddle, both sides.

Thanks Uli I made Cookessential's recipe & threw in a couple of hands full of sultanas.I made my own buttermilk = 1 cup milk + 1 tsp lemon juice.We all enjoyed them with home made jam, apricot, & 2 different types of plum jam.

Don't we all like cheap carbs with carbs!
Our wwoofers had milk rice pudding for lunch - they all loved it and really all it was - was cheap carbs: white rice, sugar, lemon and some milk - then topped with sugar and cinnamon - and accompanied with stewed apple, quinces and plums - more carbs with carbs. The only "food" value was the milk .
Myself had liver, eggs and tomatoes :)
