--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      cup           white flour
     1/2  teaspoon      baking powder
     1/4  pound         butter -- softened
   2      ounces        sugar
   1                    egg -- slightly beaten
   2      ounces        milk
                        Sultanas (white raisins) optional

Mix flour and baking powder. Add butter, blending until mixture is

desired. Bake at 350 to 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until brown. If preparing over an open fire, heat frying pan till very hot
. Place scones in pan and cook 7 to 8 minutes. Turn and cook 7 to 8 
minutes more. Makes 6 scones.
