New page

The scone recipe actually works and was from the 1941 Searchlight Cookbook, BTW. Here it is in a slightly modified form for you adventurous chefs.
Breakfast Scones
Yield: 8 servings

2 c Flour 2 tb Sugar
2 Eggs, well beaten 1 ts Salt
3 ts Baking powder 2 tb Butter
Cold water 1/4 c dried blueberries

Sift flour, measure, and sift with baking powder, salt, and sugar. Rub in
butter with tips of fingers or cut in with 2 spatulas. Add eggs and
sufficient water to make a soft dough. Turn onto lightly floured board and
pat into sheet 1 inch thick. Cut into rounds or squares. Fold over double
and brush with milk. Place on slightly oiled baking sheet. Dust with sugar
and bake in hot oven (450 F) about 15 minutes.

Shortcut: Instead of sifting the baking powder, salt and flower together,
just use self-rising flour. It works quite well and is a lot easier.

Variation: Add in cinnamon in equal proportion to the sugar and substitute
raisins for the blueberries. They're not quite as good, but they made my
wife happy enough!

 I considered that, but, while I was thinking about it, it sort of made me chuckle.  Part of the problem was trying to keep within the Chesix System Of Measures.  There wasn't much detail on volume there.  Do you think it would be okay to make up some additional volume measurements, then add in a note with the conversion?  (In other words, I'm open to suggestions on how to improve that part.) --[[User:PhineasCrank|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 21:27, 19 Oct 2004 (EDT)

	Well, I sort of liked the Chesix system. Also, my problem is that measurements don't seem to fit in with the rest of the entry, so I'm looking for suggestions on how to properly integrate them into Ghyll. --[[User:PhineasCrank\|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 07:34, 20 Oct 2004 (EDT)		Well, I sort of liked the Chesix system.

		+	Okay, so I did some fudging and made up kitchen measures. Does that look okay? If not, I can edit it around to make it fit better. I'd rather not phantom kitchen measures, though. I already think the phantom to active scholar ratio is a bit off. Oh, and FYI a Kitchen Scoop = 1 Table Spoon and 1 Table Scoop = 1 Tea Spoon. A Larder Bucket is the same as a Cup. Simple enough. --[[User:PhineasCrank\|Doctor Phineas Crank]] 14:47, 20 Oct 2004 (EDT)

	The measures in the Chesix system are a bit large. I don't see a problem with inventing more. But since you are doing it for a recipe, why not invent kitchen measures instead? What is the Ghyllian version of a cup, teaspoon, tablespoon, etc.? Just a thought. --[[User:Dok\|Dok]] 01:28, 20 Oct 2004 (EDT)		The measures in the Chesix system are a bit large.
