Jo's High Tea Scone recipe from the EDC by request

I doubt it Troupie, reprints don't happen until current stocks are sold.  There's a sheet of amendments given with each book.

Re Self Raising flour.   I read recently that different brands of SR flour have different amounts of raising agents.  I will be buying White Wings from now on.  Haven't tried this recipe but certainly will.

I always prefer White Wings Chookie. It seems good to me.

I buy HB plain flour and add baking powder when I need SR flour never had a failure scones always turn out light a fluffy.

Made these today and used 320g buttermilk as per recipe. I've only just purchased the new EDC and mine had the yeast and water in the instructions.

I made my own SRF from the recipe in the book and the scones were divine. They were a little sour, though because I used yoghurt and added some whey that I had left from making labne recently.
I figured that was the reason.

The SRF recipe is different to what I'd normally do. It uses baking powder AND cream of tartar. Yet, the baking powder recipe in the book already has cream of tartar in it. I'm hoping it wasn't the cream of tartar that gave the sour taste….

MJ I noticed that about the cream of tartar in the SRF recipe last night when showing DH the difference between flours etc. I haven't made the SRF EDC yet to see if it makes a difference.

Was always curious if I could bake these scones in the airfryer. Tried them today. Haven't gotten the temp and timing quite right yet.

Started off at preheated 200c, 5 mins. Then added 2 mins intervals at 180c. I think I ended up with about 6-8 mins 180c, to get the scones cooked through.



Had these with thickened cream and Chookie's strawberry jam. Soooo good 😋😋😋
