Recipe of the Month - Brown Scones

This is a 1908 recipe in Vegetarian Cookery by Florence George, featured in Early Vegetarian Recipes. 

¼ lb white flour
¼ teaspoonful salt
1 teaspoonful bicarbonate of soda
2 teaspoonfuls cream of tartar
¾ lb wholemeal flour
3 oz butter
½ pint milk

Pass the white flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, and cream of tartar through a sieve; add the wholemeal flour, and rub in the butter. Make a hole in the centre, and add the milk all at once. Mix quickly; turn on to a floured board; roll out; cut into shapes. Put on to a buttered tin, and bake for ten minutes; or put on a hot girdle and cook over the fire, turning the scones once.
