Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb (about 3 1/3 cups) all purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Slowly add the buttermilk to the flour mixture until the dough is shaggy but not too sticky and wet. You may not need to use quite all of the buttermilk.
  4. Place the dough on a well-floured surface and quickly knead a couple of times to bring it together. Gently pat it into a disc about 1 inch thick, and cut out about 8 scones, reshaping the dough as needed. You can also cut traditional triangles, as well.
  5. Place the scones on the prepared baking pan, turn down the oven to 400F, and bake for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden on top.
  6. Serve warm with butter and jam, or alongside soups and stews.
