It was a fabulous dinner and a great time. We will be glad to see Mr. Jocelynlf next time too. A Raleighdon pie is NOT to be missed. Boy, that guy makes a yummy pie crust. Sheesh.

I've used this scone recipe for years and years. I got bored with the caraway seeds so put in a bunch of crumbled blue cheese instead. Makes for an INTENSE-flavored scone.

Scone Recipe


Put in bowl 2 cups flour, ½ cup sugar or less, pinch of salt, and 4 tsps. of baking powder. Sift three times.

Add ½ stick of butter, cut into pea-size pieces.

Separately, blend one egg and enough milk for one cup total, or a little less.

Add caraway seed to dry mix.

Stir in liquids.

Knead 12 times. Form a round 1” thick. Cut into 8-12 wedges. This dough is very sticky so just kneading it and scooping big spoons-worth out of the bowl actually works well too.

Bake at 400 degrees on a buttered cookie sheet until light brown, about 14-15 minutes.
