Buttermilk scone recipe from Five Roses Cookbook, 1915
Recipe Source:
Thank you to Mary Trepanier for sharing one of her favourite cookbooks! Originally printed in 1915, this Five Roses Cookbook is available to view online on archive.org. This cookbook was produced by Five Roses flour company, a Canadian brand that dates back to 1888. The cookbook claims that “Five Roses is a favourite in one million Canadian homes”.
“City line TV show guest chef often said just use a regular recipe for scones etc. She got asked so many times for that information that she talked whitecap books into reprinting the Five Rose’s Cookbook (1915) in 1999. I use it today.”
