3 1/2 cup flour
1 pinch salt
3/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup raisins
Cut together butter, flour, salt and baking powder. Add sugar and
raisins. Make well in center of the mixture; add egg and small amount of
milk. If mixture appears to be too dry, add more milk. Blend to a nice,
smooth dough. Roll out on floured board to 1/2 inch thick. Use cutter
with 2-inch fluted edge. Place on lightly greased baking sheet, brush with
beaten egg. Bake in 350-degree F oven for 10-15 minutes. Center of bottom

of years ago from a newspaper; supposedly, those *are* the scones served
in the Palace. If I remember right, the recipe came with an article about
a guy who used to be cook there. From: [email hidden] (Ellen Sudia)

Victoria Sandwich Cake
This popular type of cake is made with a creamed mixture based on equal
amounts of flour, sugar and fat. The fat enables it to keep moist longer
than the fatless or 'true' sponge
Serves 8
175g (6 oz), softened butter
175g (6 oz) caster sugar
3 eggs
175g (6 oz), sifted self raising flour
3 Tbsp Jam
Icing sugar sifted, optional, or caster sugar
Prepare two 18cm (7 inch) sandwich tins. Cream the butter and sugar
together until very pale in colour, light in texture and fluffy. Beat in
the eggs, one at a time, adding 1 tablespoon of the flour with each one.
Gently fold in the remaining flour with a metal spoon.
Transfer to prepared tins and smooth the tops with a knife. Bake at 180 0C
/ 350 0F / Gas 4 for 25-30 minutes or until well-risen, golden brown and
firm. Leave in the tins for 2-3 minutes. Turn out on to a wire cooling
rack. Leave until cold. When cold sandwich together with jam. Dust the
cake with icing sugar.

Bread and Butter Pudding
Recipe By: ArcaMax Recipes
1/2 cup butter ; softened
12 slices thin white bread
1/3 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
Coat the bottom of a 7 x 10 baking dish with butter. Trim the crust off
bread slices and butter both sides of the bread slices. Place 4 slices at
the bottom of the baking dish. Combine raisins, currants and cinnamon
together and toss. Place half the mixture over the 4 bread slices. Add 4
more buttered bread slices and the other half of raisins and currants. Top
with remaining 4 slices of buttered bread. In a mixer or blender, mix eggs
until frothy, then add sugar, milk, cream and nutmeg and beat until mixed.
Pour mixture over bread and raisin mixture. Allow pudding to sit at room
temperature for about 30 minutes so bread can absorb liquid. Cover with
aluminum foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake 30
minutes longer. Serve warm.
The Skinny: Whoa...lots of eggs, butter and cream. Use your
favorite egg and sugar substitute. Use skim milk and fat free
Half and Half in place of the cream. Use light bread?
