Supper As A Service

Buttermilk Scones

INGREDIENTS

3 cups flour
⅓ cup sugar
2½ cups baking powder
¾ cup butter, grated or cubed
salt
1 cup buttermilk
milk

DESCRIPTION

I make these so I have breakfast. You can freeze them and they’ll last long enough that I can’t really tell you when they go bad. A pastry cutter makes short work of cutting in the butter, and the American technique of grating frozen butter is handy, but all the usual methods work fine.

PREPARATION

Preheat an oven to 200°C
Mix dry ingredients
Cut butter into the dry ingredients
Mix the buttermilk in and adjust the texture as needed with milk
Fold and layer the dough, and cut out pieces, transfer to a baking tray
Brush the scones with milk, egg wash, or buttermilk
Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly browned and risen
