I shared with
you a few weeks or so ago that I’d acquired two new cookbooks for my collection
of vintage and antique cookbooks. This
one is the Victory Recipes and
features “better recipes for wartime cooking and baking” using rationing and as
a way for people to get the most mileage from their food as they could.

The scones came
together quickly and easily. I patted
the batter into my vintage nine inch pink round Pyrex cake pan. It only seems right that I make vintage
recipes using my vintage Pyrex bowls and baking dishes.
They baked in a
hot oven for twenty minutes and were done.
I have to tell you this recipe pleasantly surprised me. I half expected these scones to be rather dry
and bland, but they were not. I cut them
and served them right out of the oven with a bit of butter for a Sunday brunch. They were lightly sweet and very tasty. Next time, I will most likely cut the salt
back to a ½ teaspoon, but other than that I think they are perfect. I will definitely make these scones again.
I think pairing
these scones with eggs is perfect for breakfast or brunch. I also think I’d enjoy one with a hot cup of
coffee or tea and be just as satisfied.
I hope you will make these sometime.
I sure did enjoy them.
Yum, they look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThey really were. :)
DeleteI think I might make the scones & take them to my daughter. Looking at the next recipes for gingerbread waffles it calls for a cup of molasses. Wow that's a lot.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It makes a lot of pancakes, but still.,, seems like a lot to me too.
DeleteMargaret, I thought the exact same thing! A whole cup of molasses against 2 cups flour? Seems overwhelming!
DeleteThe scones seemed like a "normal" recipe, and they do look scrumptious! I wonder how some lemon juice and zest would work as additions? Perhaps I'll make them for blueberry-obsessed DH and try a variation... Thank you for the peek at the cookbook and your recipe test! It's so interesting to see how things were done "in the old days." A vintage cookbook is as good as a novel!
This is one that definitely sounds do-able for me. They look amazing! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome :)
DeleteYour cookbooks were a great deal. These sell for a lot online. I have been watching for one for a while but just can’t spend that much money on a cookbook.
ReplyDeleteI know I really did get a good deal on these. Until you find your own, I'll share mine. :o)
