When I am stressed I eat. I am sure that is true for most people. And what do I crave the most (besides delicious milk chocolate)......bread. You will usually see me making the yeast rolls or something along those lines when I am stressed out. Well, these are another favorite of mine. My mom shared this recipe and we used to have it every year for Christmas. They are an old English recipe that has been passed down our family. They are not the traditional fluffy biscuit-like scones you will get in a coffee shop. They are flat and very sweet. Nothing is added to them. You can slice them open or just leave them whole. I like to put butter on mine - particularly the new Country Crock flavored spreads. The honey butter is fabulous. They are wonderful on their own, but you can top them with butter, honey, jelly, or whatever floats your boat.
Scones
Sift: 3 c flour
½ c sugar
2 t baking powder
1 t baking soda
Cut in: 1 stick margarine
1 c buttermilk
Knead: 2-5 times. Divide into 4 balls. Pat out to about ¼ in – ½ in thick circle. Cut into 4-6 pieces (triangles – like a pie). Heat griddle to 300 degrees. Fry. NO GREASE!

Thanks for sharing your recipes. Sounds like my MIL she used to bake too when she was stressed or sad, to the delight of us. She has passed away though.
Now baking is not my cup of tea, but I do love to eat baked food. I have always enjoyed scones. Didn't realize they are fried?! So I will just HAVE to try this. Thank you for sharing with us!!
