Granny Lea's Griddle Scones
"My husband's Scottish grandmother - Granny Lea - was renowned for her scones. I followed her one day as she made the scones and wrote down the ingredients as best I could. (Sugar for the recipe was 2 handfuls and baking powder are heaping teaspoons.) Granny has been gone for many years, but the scones live on. Hope you will try them."

<p>I love cooking. It satisfies me in many ways. And, I really like Recipezaar. My daughter, who also enjoys cooking, introduced it to me and I use it often. I had a Premium membership for two years before Zaar became Food.com I continue to introduce it to more of my family and friends. Zaar brought together a great community of cooks and my hope is that Food.com carries on the great tradition. <br /> <br />Feeding people brings me joy. Whatever I make I always stir in lots of love.</p>
