Buttermilk Scones

So, I had the urge to bake for my co-workers at the Resource Center. Therefore, I made buttermilk scones and took them in on Thursday. 
They turned out super good! And they pair well with your favorite fruit spread (Mine are made by Bonne Mamman!)!

So, here's the recipe for the scones:
3 c. flour
1/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
2.5 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 c. (1.5 sticks) butter
1 c. buttermilk
1 Tbsp. heavy cream


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. 

Dry Ingredients Combined

Add the butter and combine with the dry ingredients by using your fingers to a "coarse meal."

Add the buttermilk until the "meal" is just wet and combined.

Wet dough 

If you have a scone pan (greased!), place the dough in the pan. If you don't, roll out the dough on a floured service and divide it. Roll into 3/4 inch thick rounds. Cut each round into 8 wedges and place a greased baking sheets. 

Brush the tops with the heavy cream (you could use buttermilk, if you don't have the heavy cream!)

Placed, Brushed, and Ready!

Bake for 15 minutes!

YUMMY!

I let mine cool on a baking rack.

Cool!

Best served warm! They microwave well! And, as I said above, they go will with your favorite spread! 

I had mine with Raspberry!

Eat and Enjoy!
