Ingredients

  • 2 c self-rising flour[1]
  • 1/2 c sugar
  • 1/2 c butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c buttermilk
  • 1/2 c any dried fruit (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 390°. Place baking trays in the oven for preheating.

Combine the flour and butter into a mixing bowl. Rub the butter into the flour using finger tips. Add the sugar and mix together. Add the dried fruit, if using.

Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add the buttermilk to the eggs and mix together.

Make a well in the center of dry ingredients. Add the buttermilk mixture. Using a spoon, mix the ingredients together until the dough forms.

Lift the dough out and place onto a lightly floured surface for kneading. Knead lightly and bring to a circular shape.

Turn over, smooth side on top and press to depth of scone cutter (~2 inches).

Dip cutter[2] in flour before cutting scones to prevent sticking.

Grease the baking sheets. Place the scones on the baking sheets and put into the oven for 20 minutes, or until they are a golden brown color.

Serve with jam and freshly whipped cream.

  2. If you do not have a 2" cutter, a drinking glass can be used.
