...Cinnamon, Cardamon and Sultana Scones...
A recipe I was experimenting with to make something like a biscuit that had no egg in it (I have a friend who can't have egg).  It actually turned out nice.  I cut mine out into small star shapes, and my self raising flour was past its used-by date, so they didn't rise much.  I think I have discovered that you need fresh flour and a larger scone for it to rise a lot.

Serves:
makes about 20 I think (depends entirely on the size of your scones.)

Ingredients:
2 cups self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon salt (ok, the recipe I use for the basic scone dough uses it, but I leave it out)
1/8c butter
3/4c milk
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon (finely) ground cardamon
handful of sultanas (could use raisins)

Oven Temp:
Hot 450F (my oven is so old its in farenheight! so I don't have to convert it)

Method:

1). Sieve (hehe I never do) the dry stuff into a bowl and rub in the butter until it does the breadcrumb thing.

2). Add the sultanas and milk... mix into a dough

3). Roll out onto a floured surface and use a sharp cookie cutter to cut out your desired shapes.  Put on a greased baking tray.  brush the tops with milk.

4). Bake for 15 mins.
