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

½ cup sugar

½ cup water

Preparation

For Scones:

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

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.

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.

Bake about 20-25 minutes until they are well risen and lightly golden brown.

For Fresh Strawberry Sauce:

In a saucepan combine the strawberries with the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer and let cook until the water begins to thicken.
