this sound ok for a scone recipe!It's in the latest New World Real magazine.Seems like a lot of baking powder.

Hi - it definitely says tablespoons.And in the other scone recipe same book it has 3 cups flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder.I don't have a great deal of taste but I'm sure they taste funny.Waiting for kids to come home and try them.

I put in 2t per cup of flour for the recipe that I use which I think is generous - that sounds a bit excessive.My scones are lovely and light with the ratio I use (I use buttermilk too as the wet ingredient - strongly recommend)

To that amount of flour I would put 3 raised teaspoons of baking powder.

Rich Blueberry Scones 2 cups flour 3 tablespoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 100gm butter 2 tablespoons sugar, preferably caster 2 eggs lightly beaten 1/2 cup cream 1/2 cup frozen blueberries tossed in a little flour milk for glazing
Prehead oven to 220c.Line a baking tray with baking paper.Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl, rub in the butter to form fine breadcrumbs and stir in the sugar.Make a well in the centre. Pour in the eggs and cream.Place in the blueberries and quickly stir with a knife to form a ball of dough. Turn onto a lightly floured bench and knead lightly into a ball.Use your hands to press the dough into a 15cm round.Place the dough on the prepared tray. Using a floured knife, cut into 8 wedges and pull the wedges apart to leave room for the scone to rise.Brush with milk.Bake for 15mins or until golden.
I actually substituted the blueberries for dates.

It seems high
But I do a ratio of one cup of flour to four teaspoons of BP (which is the highest I have seen)
Their recipe has NINE teaspoons, that does seem high

duckmoon, I agree that 9 tsp (3 tbsp) is a lot of baking powder BUT it is only 1 tsp (or ½ tsp per cup flour) more than you use and IMO that extra baking powder is because of the blueberries.:-))

I have just taken these out of the oven, and the quantities are correct. They are deliciousI used frozen blackcurrants

Oh that's good to know thanks. perhaps it was because I left the sugar out that they were a bit funny.Today we have heated them and put butter and a bit of runny honey on them and they're great!
