Grandma's Buttermilk Scones
- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
12 Scones
- Serves:
- 12
ingredients
- 4 cups flour (for white flour I prefer unbleached all-purpose)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons butter, just melted
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
directions
- Sift together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
- Mix melted butter and enough buttermilk in a measuring cup to make 2 cups of liquid, dissolve baking soda in the liquid.
- Slowly work the liquid into the dry ingredients until a nice dough forms (you may not need all the milk so do this in stages). The dough should be easily handled and not sticky.
- Divide dough in half and shape into a round ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out to 1/2" thick round and cut into pie shaped wedges (a pizza cutter works good for this).
- Fry in a dry electric pan at 350°F (no butter/pam/oil please) until a nice golden brown.
- Flip and brown other side.
- Serve warm. (Can be reheated in a toaster).
- Alternatively, you can roll the doll out and use a glass to cut rounds. Grandma did that sometimes too (while I snuck behind and stole the scraps before she could roll them out again lol).
