Christmas morning breakfast....old family recipe for scones

[cally]

Every Christmas morning of my life, my family has scones. This recipe has been used for a few generations of my family.

Scones

Sift together

2 cups flour
1/4 Sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cream of tartar

Mix in:

Scant cup of buttermilk
3 tbsp. oil

Pat into a approximately 10 inch circle on floured board. Cut into sixths. Grill (yes grill) on med. low heat until brown on both sides.

We eat these with jam or syrup. YMMMMMM.

On edit: Forgot a step.

What do you have?

1. Just coffee and bear claws this Christmas.

I had to run the video camera. I didn't have a lot of time.

2. Super easy and super awesome sticky buns...

We have these every christmas morning, the best! We usually add a little more sugar and butter to increase the gooey-ness.

18 Rhodes petite dinner rolls (frozen, from package of 36)
1-pkg Jello Cook-n-Serve Butterscotch pudding mix
1/2-cup butter
3/4-cup packed brown sugar
1/2-cup chopped pecans
1-tbsp cinnamon


Grease bottom and sides of a bundt cake pan and sprinkle a layer of nuts along the bottom.
Arrange 18 frozen rolls around bottom of pan
Sprinkle the dry pudding mix on top
Heat together the butter, cinnamon and brown sugar, mixing well and until thick
Pour over top of rolls
Let rolls rise in cold oven overnight
In the morning, take out of oven and heat to 350*
Bake for 25-30 minutes
Invert onto plate and ENJOY!

I find that dipping the rolls into the sugar mixture then into pudding mixture before putting into pan mixes better
Pour the remaining over top as recommended

3. I made those, too. They are so amazing

and how easy...just dump all the ingredients in the pan the night before and pop it in the oven in the AM. YUM!!!

I will try your dipping tip next year!
