As part of an ongoing series, we are publishing one recipe every week from Pontiac County Recipes, a small book that is home to a collection of kitchen secrets from across the region, published by Pontiac Printshop in 1968.

Our recent rediscovery of this book has inspired us to recirculate its recipes, by way of this newspaper, through the communities from which they first came to us.

As the weather warms up and the sun shines for more and more hours of the day, cozy up with this recipe for Scottish scones. Fluffy from the pastry flour and full of delicious dried fruits such as raisins or currants, serve these scones with your spread of choice. If you look back at a previous recipe, you may even try them with the orange marmalade.

If you recognize a recipe from either your grandparents’ kitchen, or from your own, please write to us. We would love to hear about how these recipes have lived on.
