Traditional Scones
PREP: 20 min. BAKE: 25 min.
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons cold butter
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk
Jam of your choice, optional
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk until blended; add to crumb mixture just until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 8-10 times. Divide dough in half; pat each portion into a 5-in. circle. Cut each circle into six wedges.
Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with jam if desired.
Yield: 1 dozen.
