Traditional Buttermilk Scones
Recipe by:
Terri
I got this recipe from a co-worker. Everytime I share these scones I always get a compliment. They are quick to make and moist. Serve them warm with butter or jam! You can also add sultanas or fresh blueberries to this recipe as a variation.

Serves: 12
- 400g (14 oz) plain flour
- 100g (3 3/4 oz) caster sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarb of soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 175g (6 oz) soft butter
- 250ml (8 fl oz) buttermilk

Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 12 mins1.
Preheat oven to 220 degrees C (Gas Mark 7).

Sift dry ingredients in a bowl. Add room temperature butter and cut into the dry ingredients with a fork until the mixture resembles dry breadcrumbs. Add buttermilk and mix. The dough will be a bit moist. Roll half the dough into a ball and flatten on floured surface. Cut into six pieces with a scone cutter or simply cut into wedges. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes. You can brush buttermilk on top and sprinkle with sugar before baking if desired.

Made this today. Mixture seemed really sticky and didn't really go into what I was expecting (like pastry). Not sure why or if that was right but they tasted absolutely gorgeous just very messy to make! Will definitely do again.

Unusual, first too doughy inside so I put the scones back into the oven with the ensuing result of crunchy outside and soft, cake texture inside. (Also halved ingredients)

I made these this morning. It was my first attempt at making scones in 20 odd years and they were divine. I had to adapt the recipe a little as I was using self rasing flour and ordinary semi-skimmed milk rather than butter milk but they were fantastic.
I tossed in lots of dried cranberries and some raw chocolate for good measure.
Will definately be making these again.
