I'd promised some people over in ORPCC my drop sweet-milk scone recipe and then lost it. Just found it, so I figured I'd put it in here since someone else might have other bread-type recipes to share.
I got this recipe from a friend who traveled every summer to backpack around the UK and Europe and collect neato recipes. I believe this came from Cornwall, but I could be wrong, but it's simple enough for me to make and extremely versatile:
2-3 cups of flour
2 tsp Cream of Tartar (or 1 tsp CofT & t tsp corn starch--pure cornstarch doesn't work well)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2-3/4 stick butter or margarine
2/3 c buttermilk & more if needed
1/4 c honey or sugar
1. In large bowl, mix flour, cream of tartar & baking soda (& sugar, if used)*
2. Cut in butter until mixture is fine
3. In measuring cup, mix honey & buttermilk (if using honey)
4. Add liquid to dry ingredients, mixing to make a soft, somewhat sticky dough. Add more buttermilk if necessary
5. Drop by large spoonfuls onto oiled and floured baking sheet
6. Bake at 375 for 8-12 minutes
* Add raisins, apple bits, herbs, cheese, etc at this time, if desired.
