Ingredients




For Scones:
2 cups flour 0 sifted
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cream of tartar
3 tbs. sugar
3 tbs. butter
About 5 tbs. each milk and water, mixed
Powdered Sugar for dusting
For Fresh Strawberry Sauce:
1 quart fresh strawberries – sliced
½ cup sugar
½ cup water

Preparation

1 For Scones: 2 Preheat Oven 350 degrees: 3 Sift together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar and sugar into a big bowl. Cut up the butter into pieces and rub it into the four with fingertips. Gradually add the milk and water and mix with a round bladed knife to give a soft but manageable dough. 4 Knead the dough quickly on a lightly floured surface to remove all cracks. Roll dough into a long log and cut into two inch pieces. Place pieces into cupcake papers and place in a cupcake pan. 5 Bake about 20-25 minutes until they are well risen and lightly golden brown. 6 For Fresh Strawberry Sauce: 7 In a saucepan combine the strawberries with the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and let cook until the water begins to thicken.
