Vincent Price - A Devil for Food!
Vincent Price loved to entertain and cook. He wrote several cookbooks along with his wife as well as an International Cooking Course on 12-cassette tapes released in 1977.

Here are some of those recipes for your enjoyment:

Tea Scones
Variation on Recipe from Woburn Abbey, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom

A Treasury of Great Recipes cookbook by the well-known 50's horror movie actor Vincent Price covers recipes from eating establishments around the globe. Woburn Abbey's restaurant is one of the fine places covered in the cookbook. What better to represent it than their famous Tea Scone recipe, served at their British high tea. I love cranberries in my scones so I've changed it up a bit.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2-1/2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1 egg
Milk (enough to combine to 2/3 cup with the egg)

Scones

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
2. Combine in mixing bowl: 2 cups flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 cup superfine sugar.
3. With pastry blender cut in: 1/2 cup shortening. Add: 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries.
4. Lightly beat an egg, adding milk for a total of about 2/3 cup of egg and milk liquid. Add to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a fork until dough holds together.
5. Roll dough into a ball, place on lightly floured wooden board and knead gently.
6. Roll dough on the floured board to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into rounds with floured biscuit cutter.
7. Place scones on a baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Presentation: Cut open the scones while hot and add butter.
