Great Nanny's Scones

When Penny and I were in nurse's training in downtown Vancouver, we used to visit Penny's grandmother, Great Nanny and she would feed us fresh scones. Her original recipe was from her mother back in Scotland. We stopped by and Ron was just pulling 2 trays out of the oven. Guess how much we enjoyed them hot.
I don't think she had measuring spoons in those days.
