Currant Cream Scones recipe
The famous British "cream tea" offers thick, clotted Devonshire cream to spread on the scones. They are wonderful with butter and jam.
1/3 cup butter, margarine or shortening
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup currants or raisins
4 to 6 tablespoons half-and-half
1 egg, beaten
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut butter into flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in 1 egg, the currants and just enough half-and-half so dough leaves sides of bowl. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Roll 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 2 1/4-inch circles with floured cutter. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Brush with 1 egg. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately remove from cookie sheet.
Yields 10 to 12 scones.
Beef Steak and Kidney Pie recipe
3/4 pound calf kidney or beef liver
Salted water
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds beef steak, cut into bite-size pieces
4 tablespoons butter
4 shallots, finely chopped
1 cup beef bouillon
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Pinch of ground cloves
Pinch of marjoram, crushed
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced and sautéed
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Pastry Topping
Clean and split kidney; remove fat and large tubes. Soak in salted water 1 hour. Dry and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Mix flour, salt and pepper; roll kidney and beef pieces in flour mixture. Melt butter in heavy pot and sauté shallots. When shallots have taken on a little color, add beef and kidney; brown lightly, turning. Add bouillon, bay leaf, parsley, cloves and marjoram. Stir; cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until meat is tender. Add mushrooms and Worcestershire sauce. If liquid is too thin, thicken with smooth paste of flour and cold water.
Grease a deep 10-inch baking dish. Place pie funnel in center. Add meat mixture and allow to cool in refrigerator. Meanwhile, prepare pastry. Place pastry over meat, sealing pastry edges to edge of dish. Make vents in pastry to allow steam to escape. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 to 10 minutes; lower heat to 375 degrees F and continue baking 15 minutes, or until crust is golden.
Pastry Topping:
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
Cut shortening into flour and salt until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans sides of bowl, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary. Gather pastry into a ball; shape into flattened round on lightly floured cloth-covered board. Roll out to fit top of casserole.
