Traditional Buttermilk Scones

the best ever scones

I slightly changed this recipe to self raising flour and changed buttermilk to100ml yoghurt the rest milk. The scones were gorgeous, really light and moist inside. They also lasted well for a few days and didn't dry out like normal scones do.

I don't know if it was my converting from metric or what..but my scones fell flat! Like pancakes. They are still soft and delicious though, so I can't complain TOO much. But really. Very flat. I used cake flour, maybe that did it? It was all I had.

not great more like a good biscuit

I make these scones at least once a week and every time they turn out perfectly!! Absolutely gorgeous scones and easy instructions and recipe. I love them. The only thing i'd say is add a little more flour as the mixture is a little too wet to knead before cutting them into scones.

Always thought my Mum made the best scones. Tried these today. Thought mixture was bit sticky but results were fantastic. I added the buttermilk and sugar on the top and glad I did. So light but with slight crunch on outside. Perfect. When kids come home, sure I will be making further batch tonight. Off to break bad news to Mum now!

Great recipe. I make scones all the time but wanted to use buttermilk this time and this did the trick. Only thing is that the mixture was too wet so I will try to add a little more flour next time just to get it the perfect consistency. Thank you!

The nicest scones I've ever made. Very easy recipe to follow. Will definitely make again.

Absolutely delicious scones. I was introducing a good friend here in California to the wonders of clotted cream. Of course you must have jam and scones for the real deal. I hunted around online for a recipe for simple scones and found this one and baked up a batch and we had a go. These are really a pain to make since they are so darned sticky. Once you get past the pain in the behind sticky part these were DELICIOUS! Super simple, airy, tasty, I almost wanted to just eat them plain with nothing on them they were so good!
