bump will look aftrer hwn dd in bed aaaaaaaaaaggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Not bicarb - they will turn green, use baking powder, not sure of the ratio though most cookery books will have a relevant table.

only recipe I can find using plain flour is for rock cakes where they use 8oz plain flour with 2 level tps of bicarb or baking powder.

ooh - baking powder then! Green scones might be cool though!!!

Would be ok if they didn't taste so vile!!

you want to try these ones - they not really vile - just a bit dry cos we kneeded them bit too much and i cooked them a bit too long!
