Buttermilk scones are light and flaky and so easy to make. They are the perfect tea time treat served with thick cream and jam.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (260g) flour
- 3 tsp (15g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (5g) salt
- 2 tbsp (30g) caster sugar
- 3 tbsp (45g) butter (The butter should be chilled but not so hard that you can't rub it into the flour)
- ¾ cup (185ml) buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 2-3 tbsp heavy/whipping cream
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF and line a baking sheet with baking/parchment paper.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles bread crumbs/almond flour.
- Whisk the egg into the buttermilk and pour into the dry ingredients. Mix with a fork until the mixture just comes together then tip out onto a floured surface.
- Lightly bring the dough together into a disc approximately 3-5cm/1-2 inches high. Using a round cutter, cut scones out of the dough and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Press the dough together and continue cutting until all the dough has been used.
- Brush the top of the scones with heavy/whipping cream and place in the oven to bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
