26 July 1951 - ALICE IN WONDERLAND PREMIERES: A daydreaming Alice gives
chase to a white rabbit sporting a dapper waistcoat, following him down
a rabbit hole and into movie history as Disney premieres its 13th
animated film, based on Lewis Carroll's books. Initially panned, it will
come to be regarded as one of the best 'Alice' film adaptations.

Walt Disney first tried to adapt Alice into a feature-length animated
feature film in the 1930s, but were scrapped in favor of Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs (1937). However, it was eventually revived the idea in
the 1940s. The film was originally intended to be a live-action/animated
film, but Disney decided it would be the fully animated feature film.
During its production, many sequences adapted from Carroll's books were
later omitted, such as Jabberwocky, White Knight, the Duchess, and Mock
Turtle.

When it premiered in London on July 26, 1951, and in New York City on
July 28, 1951, Alice in Wonderland was considered a disappointment on
its initial release, therefore was shown on television as one of the
first episodes of Disneyland. Its 1974 re-release in theaters proved to
be much more successful, leading to subsequent re-releases,
merchandising and home video releases. Although the film received
generally negative critical reviews on its initial release, it has been
more positively reviewed over the years.

Title: English Scones (Alice In Wonderland)
Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy
Yield: 8 servings

2 c A-P flour
1/4 c Sugar
3 ts Baking powder
1/4 ts Salt
4 tb Butter; room temperature
1/2 c Milk
2 lg Eggs; divided
1 ts Vanilla extract
Strawberry jam; garnish
Whipped cream; garnish

Set oven @ 400ºF/205ºC.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder,
and salt; mix well. Using a pastry cutter or two forks,
cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
In a small bowl, combine milk, 1 egg, and vanilla; whisk
until combined. Add to flour mixture and stir just until
blended.

On a floured surface, knead dough 5 to 6 times until it
comes together. Lightly pat the dough so that it is
1/2" thick. There is no need to use a rolling pin with
this dough. Using a 2" round biscuit cutter (or drinking
glass), cut into the dough. Place on an ungreased baking
sheet. Gather any remaining dough, pat it so it is 1/2"
thick, and cut it into circles until all the dough is
used up.

In a small bowl, beat remaining egg and brush on
biscuits. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden.

Serve warm with jam and whipped cream.
