BUTTERMILK SCONES
Last summer, I gave up going abroad and took a staycation in Cornwall. Apart from one gorgeous, glinting day, it rained and blustered and blew, and I loved it. There I was, with a fire burning inside, the mackerel-coloured sea swirling outside, living off the fat, that's to say, the clotted cream of the land. If you can't find clotted cream (sometimes called Devonshire cream) then feel free to lavishly spoon softly heavy whipped cream onto the scones instead. The buttermilk in these scones only gives them a slight tang, all the better to enjoy the jam and cream on top, but is also what yields such a melting, tender crumb. These scones do look a bit like they are suffering from cellulite (though I dare say we all might, if we ate too many of them), but proper scones should not have the smooth-sided denseness of the store-bought variety. And they are so worth making. Until you have made a batch of scones you won't have any idea how easy they are to throw together. Frankly, it shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes to make and bake them, from start to finish. Even though the process is hardly lengthy enough to warrant cooking them in advance, I like to make up quite a big batch - and this recipe will give you about 18 scones - and freeze some (they thaw incredibly quickly) to produce a near-instant cream tea at some future date.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a large lipped baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Put the flour into a bowl with the baking soda, cream of tartar, and sugar. Chop the butter and the vegetable shortening into pieces and drop them into the flour. Rub the fats into the flour - or just mix any old how - and then pour in the buttermilk, working everything together to form a dough.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Pat the dough into a round-edged oblong about 1 3/4 inches thick and cut out 2-inch scones with a biscuit cutter. (Mine are never a uniform height, as I only pat the dough into its shape without worrying whether it's irregular or not.)
- Arrange the scones fairly close together on your lined baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg (to give golden tops) or not as you wish.
- Bake for 12 minutes, by which time the scones will be dry on the bottom and have a relatively light feel. Remove them to a wire rack to cool, and serve with clotted cream and your favourite jam.
- Make Ahead Note: Scones are best on the day they are made but day-old scones can be revived by warming in oven preheated to 300 degrees F for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Freeze Note: Baked scones can be frozen in airtight containers or resealable bags for up to one month. Thaw for 1 hour at room temperature and warm as above. Unbaked scones can be put on parchment-lined trays and frozen until solid. Transfer to resealable bags and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake direct from frozen, as directed in recipe, but allowing extra 2 to 3 minutes baking time.

LORI LECKMAN'S BUTTERMILK SCONES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 420 degrees.
- Mix flour with baking powder and sugar. Rub butter into the flour until it forms the texture of fine bread crumbs (this can be done in a food processor).
- Beat eggs lightly. Place dry mixture in a mixing bowl and form a well in the center. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the eggs and 1/4 pint of buttermilk into the well. Add the raisins and mix thoroughly, adding more buttermilk if needed to form a sticky but homogenous dough that can be kneaded lightly on a floured board.
- Knead dough lightly on a floured board, and roll out into a rectangular shape, approximately one-inch thick. Cut dough into roughly two-inch squares. Place squares on a well-greased baking sheet. Brush with remaining eggs and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until scones have puffed and are golden.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line two loaf pans (approximately 10-inch-by-6-inch) with buttered baking parchment, and dust with flour.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour and baking powder.
- Beat the eggs. Add eggs gradually to the butter, beating well with a wooden spoon. If the mixture shows signs of curdling add a spoonful of flour.
- Gradually mix in the almonds, lemon peel and lemon zests. The mixture may require a little milk to reach the ''dropping'' consistency: that is, thick enough to require a sharp tap to dislodge it from the spoon, but not light enough to pour.
- Distribute batter evenly in the loaf pans - it should reach a little more than half way up the sides. Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees, then reduce oven to 300 and bake another hour. Test by inserting a warm knife in the center: if it comes out clean the cake is done. Let the cake cool in its tin.

FLAKY BUTTERMILK SCONES
I always thought I didn't like scones. That is until this weekend when I was at my son's baseball game and a mom from the other team brought homemade scones for breakfast. She offered me one (which I thought was very nice) and I was in buttery goodness heaven. Previous scones I have tasted, even the commercially prepared ones, have been crumbly and dry and extremely messy to eat. Not this tiny little triangle of butter with a touch of flour and scattered with currants. Now currants aren't really my thing but I am now determined to find the perfect scone or scones.This recipe is from A passion for baking by Marcy Goldman.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Stack to baking sheets together and line the top baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange oven rack to upper one third position.
- In a food processor bowl, add flour, sugar, salt baking powder, and baking soda and blend briefly. Add butter and pulse to make a grainy mixture. Alternately, combine the dry ingredients and cut in butter with a pastry knife.
- Turn into a large bowl. Lightly beat egg with buttermilk and then add to the dry ingredients. Combine with fork until you have a soft shaggy dough.
- Turn out mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8 to 10 times until mixture is just barely rollable. Divide dough into two halves. Shape each half into a ball. Roll ball into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut each circle into 4 wedges or more depending on how big you want your scones.
- Place wedges on prepared baking sheets. Brush tops with milk or melted butter.
- Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. If making smaller scones check on them after 15 minutes. It will take a bit longer to cook the larger ones.
