Time 25m

Yield 16 scones/biscuits, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups self-raising flour
2 tablespoons caster sugar
60 g butter
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/8 teaspoon salt (a pinch)

  • Grease and flour a 8cm deep, 19cm (base) square cake tin.
  • Place flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  • Add butter and using fingertips rub butter in flour mix until mix resembles fine breadcrumbs (or give it a quick buzz in the food processor and then transfer mix to a bowl).

  • Place on a lightly floured surface and knead gently until dough comes together.

These scones were a great way to use up some leftover buttermilk. They were easy to make and turned out really well. I'll definitely be making them again.

I'm gluten-free so I was excited to find a buttermilk scone recipe that was gluten-free. These scones were delicious! They were light, fluffy, and had a wonderful flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I may have overbaked them. I'll try again and bake them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I made these scones for my family for breakfast and they were a huge hit! They were so easy to make and they turned out so flaky and moist. I served them with some homemade lemon curd and they were heavenly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my scones turned out really dense and heavy. I followed the recipe exactly so I'm not sure what happened. I'll have to try again and see if I can get them right next time.

These scones are a great addition to any breakfast or brunch menu. They're easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I love the slight tanginess from the buttermilk and the scones have a perfect crumbly texture.

I'm a big fan of buttermilk scones and these ones did not disappoint! They were so easy to make and turned out so flaky and moist. I served them with some homemade strawberry jam and they were heavenly.

Not a fan. I found the scones to be a bit dry and crumbly. I think I may have overmixed the dough. I'll try again and pay more attention to the mixing instructions.

I'm a beginner baker and I'm always looking for recipes that are easy to follow. This one was perfect! I didn't have buttermilk on hand so I used regular milk mixed with a bit of lemon juice and it worked great. The scones were light, flaky, and had

I've had scones from bakeries and cafes before but never attempted to make them myself. Your recipe made it so easy! The scones came out perfectly golden brown and cooked evenly throughout. I'll definitely be making these again.

Buttermilk scones always remind me of cozy mornings. I just made a batch of these and they turned out so fluffy and buttery! I added some fresh chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese to the dough which gave them a delicious savory twist.
