Description
Over 50 vintage recipes from Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer, gently annotated for the modern baker with metric weights, oven temperatures and clear methods.
Scones and cream scones, muffins and crumpets, tea breads and buns, with the curds, cream and tea butters to serve alongside.
There was a time when the arrival of the tea tray was the warmest moment of the day, when a batch of scones, split and buttered while still warm, said welcome more plainly than any words. High Society Scones brings that world back to your kitchen.
Drawn from the treasured recipes of Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer, America’s most trusted cooking teacher a century ago, this is a complete collection of classic afternoon-tea baking of the softer kind: proper scones and cream scones, muffins and gems, crumpets and popovers, tea breads and buns, and the everyday breads and rolls that fill out a generous table.
Every recipe is kept in Mrs. Rorer’s own graceful words, then gently annotated for the modern baker: metric weights beside her cupfuls, oven temperatures beside her “moderately quick oven,” a cook’s note wherever a hundred years has changed the kitchen, and variations to make each one your own.
Inside you will find:
- Over 50 recipes across ten chapters — scones, muffins, popovers, tea breads, buns, biscuits, crumpets, brown breads, rolls and the spreads to serve with them
- Ten classic scones, from the plain afternoon-tea scone to cream, fruit, cheese, wholemeal, buttermilk and griddle scones
- Mrs. Rorer’s clever “one dough, many rolls” method
- Tea breads, Bath buns, English muffins, crumpets and the almond-glazed German horns
- Modern measures, oven temperatures and clear instructions throughout
- Lemon curd, clotted-cream notes, tea butters and a hostess’s guide to a proper afternoon tea
Whether you bake for the pleasure of it or to set a beautiful table, this is a keepsake collection to return to season after season.
What you’ll receive: the complete book as an instant-download PDF, ready to read on your computer, tablet or phone and to print at home. Nothing is shipped. Your download link appears the moment your order is complete, and the file is yours to keep and return to whenever you like.
Part of the High Society series of annotated vintage tea-table classics, alongside High Society Sandwiches and High Society Cakes.
