Snowflake Scones

By kendra

My grandmother's favorite tea biscuits. Your family will love them too!

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• Pinch salt
• 3/4 cup margarine or butter
• 1 egg, beaten in a 1 cup measuring cup
• Milk added to the egg to make 1 cup

Preparation

Step 1

Sift together the dry ingredients. Cut margarine into dry ingrdients. Add egg-milk mixture. Mix quickly and lightly, just until no dry particles remain.

Scrape out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 8-10 times. Cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 425 degrees F for 8-10 minutes.

These are the scones we serve hot with butter and homemade jams at our annual Christmas tea and bazaar. Delicious!!
