I was born in the U.K. and came here right after the war. (that's WWII) in case you were wondering. It was many years before I was able to return dragging my Yankee husband along as 'chaperones' for our daughter's choral group. He was non plussed by the cuisine at the B&B's. I remember well the U.S. kids trying to soften their toast up on top of their tea cups:) I don't recall my own mother ever serving beans on toast or spaghetti out of a tin. I wonder if you ever got Marmite sandwiches? The really good food is served at afternoon (not 'high') tea. Thanks for your tips about using food processor to make scones. That's scones that rhymes with gone NOT scone that rhymes with stone!!

How gracious of you to take the time to post the information, I presume that you add the lemon oil with the milk? I am not familian with lemon oil, but will search it out at Trader Joe's.

Many, many thanks. Joyce

We now have fresh scones on the weekend. Here are the US conversions that I have used with success. I also add some lemon oil and use dried wild blueberries from Trader Joe's!

2 cups flour
4+ tbsp butter
1/3 to 1/2 cup dried fruit
1 tsp lemon oil
2/3 cup milk

I am presuming the ingredients are measured US (e.g. tbl) and NOT UK which is larger. I am hosting a "William and Kate" breakfast on Saturday and your scones sound perfect.
Many thanks, JOyce
