The Stars and the Cookie Jar

( Drop Scones With Fruit, or Selkie Does American Measurement Conversions )

This is the recipe I have trotted out for the past nine years, since high school. These scones do not require fancy equipment, good weather or a light hand with pastry. You can switch out almost any fruit, as long as it's dried. Fig is also especially good, if you substitute orange peel for the lemon peel.

Unfortunately I have no clue where I found the original recipe; a cookbook in the Providence Public Library, I must believe.
