Brown Scones. No. 2. (Matfen. 1876.)
1 lb. brown flour, ¼ lb. butter, and some cream, or 2 ozs. butter with milk instead of cream, a tablespoonful of baking powder, and a little salt.
Rub the butter first in the flour, add the salt and baking powder, then mix with new milk to about the consistency of breakfast bread, and bake in a quick oven. Do not turn them in the oven.
They may be three-cornered or any shape, and of the thickness before baking of a 1-inch flat rusk. Pile them on a napkin.
