directions

  • Preheat oven to 400F and position racks to top third and centre of the oven.
  • Sift flour, cream of tartar, baking powder, salt and pepper into a medium bowl.
  • Rub butter into the flour until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in prosciutto and cheese.
  • Add buttermilk and stir until the dough is moistened and begins to hold together.
  • Knead briefly in the bowl just to form a light dough.
  • (Light handling is the secret to great scones).
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat out into 1/2 inch thickness. Using a 21/2 inch round or heart shape cookie cutter, cut out scones and place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Brush tops of scones with the extra buttermilk.
  • Bake until well risen and golden brown, about 15-20 minutes. Half way through baking, change positions of baking sheets from top to bottom.
  • Serve warm, with butter.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Australia, in the Blue Mountains (a national park the size of Belgium) and I really enjoy all things to do with food (especially the eating part). I used to work in theatre and casting in the UK, but now work in an antique/discerning junk shop in Australia. I enjoy collecting out of print and old church cook books and have way too many. I can't stand bad traffic, people who sniff, or white plastic garden furniture! If I had a month off I would most likely be asleep a lot of the time or eating dark chocolate, but If I had absolutely no responsibilities, you could find me at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris looking at the pictures.
