Last night as we were fixing the car, (a new battery at a cost of £91 !), I didn't have much time to put supper on the table so I made a batch of quick scones instead of bread. This is the ideal recipe when you don't have enough bread or enough time.
8oz self raising flour
2oz margarine
enough milk/water to mix
Cut the margarine into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add enough liquid to make a soft dough, about 1/2 a cup. Roll out to 1 inch thickness and cut into rounds. Bake at 200C for 20 minutes.
This makes enough for 6-8 scones depending on how large you make them. With no sugar in they can accompany a savoury dish like soup or stew or have jam spread on them to make a quick pudding ! We had them with chicken stew to make a quick chicken potpie !
Did you have any success getting the new car battery under the 3 year guarantee that you'd saved?

Thanks for the question Julie ! It turns out that the battery was actually bought for my daughter's car, the terribly corroded terminals on ours told us that the battery had not been changed since we bought the car ! So this time we bought one with a 5 year guarantee and had the receipt emailed to us so we will definitely have it if anything goes wrong ! Foe years I didn't keep receipts but now it seems worthwhile. The new battery cost £91 but still cheaper than a trip to the local garage !
ReplyDeleteThanks for this recipe, even the day before shopping, I can scrabble together these items.
