Traditional Soda Scones
In a separate bowl or a large measuring cup combine the milk, vinegar and egg. Beat well. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir until you have a soft dough that leaves the sides of the bowl. Dust the dough with flour if necessary and gather it up into a ball. Knead slightly, 5 to 10 times, or until the dough just holds it's shape. Spray a 9-inch cake or pie pan with nonstick spray. Pat the dough into the pan forming a large thick circle. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes. The scones should be golden brown. Remove them from the oven. Re-cut the wedges and serve with low-sugar jam or reduced-calorie margarine or butter. These are good for breakfast or a snack. Most scones these days are more like baked donuts than the traditional scone from which they claim their name. These scones are based on a traditional recipe, made with baking soda instead of the more modern baking powder. To make them more authentic you could brush the tops with a bit of egg-white before baking if desired. I prefer not to do that because it takes extra time in the morning, which is when I usually bake these. It does make them pretty though, and when preparing them for guests I take the extra time for this step. The combination of wheat and white flour gives these scones a light texture but with the heavenly flavor of warm wheat bread. Of all the scones I make, this one is by far my favorite recipe.
