Rub in 3/4 cup of shortening (butter does not work for me) until the bowl has what appears to be crumbs. Add 1 1/2 cups of milk and mix to JUST combine (for some reason my Gran always said no more than 12 stirs-oddly I've just read this in another recipe book so it must be a scottish thing).<br /><br />Turn out onto a floured countertop and pat into a 1/2 inch layer and cut into the shapes you would like. You can eggwash for a shiny top if you would like. Cook in a hot oven (approx. 400 degrees) until they are browned on the top and bottom.<br /><br />My Gran's rose so much all the time that they toppled over. I'm not there yet-perhaps when I make them almost every day for 50 years?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889118790999321961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360726.post-80259890392033826752011-03-24T09:57:28.093-04:002011-03-24T09:57:28.093-04:00Everyone's favourite cottage-dweller, Hugh Fea...Everyone's favourite cottage-dweller, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, has a recipe here:<br /><br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2006/oct/21/recipes.foodanddrink1?INTCMP=SRCHThe Imaginary Reviewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525958928789383304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34360726.post-47767559611537139172011-03-24T08:44:03.184-04:002011-03-24T08:44:03.184-04:00Thanks guys.
