Girdle (Yes Girdle) Scones Excellent for a Quick Tasty Lunch

Hauled some Tomato Soup out from the Freezer. I have posted this recipe earlier and I have to tell you it was wonderful... Click here and scroll down to Roasted Tomato Soup.

It did need cream, as it is a very intense Red tomato soup.
You can also use for a lighter option, full cream milk
Here is a shot, taken before it went into the freezer.

It's Monday morning and a bit short on bread... so called on the Edmonds Famous Girdle Scone recipe.
Yes they are called Girdle scones and not Griddle. Scottish apparently
This is exceptionally simple and quick as.
Excellent for boats, caravans etc, no need for an oven.

For 2 good servings
1 cup plain flour
1 tsp Baking Powder

1/2 salt
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream

Sift flour, Baking powder and salt
Mix milk and yogurt
Add to flour
Mix with a knife
Then start kneading lightly with your hands.

You may find you need a little more water, a dry dough is not a good dough.
On a floured bench pat into a circle
Score into 8 pieces
Heat a griddle or a frypan in this case till "smokin'"
Cook about 4 minutes on side

Turn over and cook same amount.
Just watch that it doesn't burn

Remove... break into  pieces
 Serve hot with plenty of butter

What a delicious quick lunch
