I took my mom to Ireland in July 1997. We ate at a little restaurant in the village of Adare, County Limerick and they served these scones. Adare was lovely. Thatched roof cottages! Cottage gardens. Sigh. I realize it is not exactly a detailed recipe but this is what they gave us when we asked. I’ll add a more detailed one but I wanted to share this one because my mom so loved her trip to the Old Sod.
- 8 oz Self Rising Flour
- 2 ozs Butter
- 1 oz Sugar
- Fruit
- 1 Egg
- 5 tablespoons of Butter Milk
Mix everything. Make into scone shapes. Bake in a very hot oven (?????? how hot). Top shelf for 15 or 20 minutes.
Ya have to love the Irish!!!!
