Time 45m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup firm butter, cut into 8 pieces
3/4 cup buttermilk (see note below)

Steps:

  • Mix first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl.
  • Cut in the butter using pastry blended till it looks like fine crumbs.
  • Stir in buttermilk so dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
  • Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead lightly about 10 times.
  • Pat or roll into a 7-inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
  • Score into 8 wedges, cutting down halfway to the bottom.
  • Bake in 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or till light brown.
  • Immediately remove from sheet and carefully separate wedges.
  • Serve warm.
  • NOTE: If the dough is too dry, stir in an additional 1-2 tablespoons of buttermilk; sometimes I will add an extra tablespoon while mixing, but you try it for the first time.

I was disappointed with these scones. They were dry and crumbly.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit. They're so versatile - I've added berries, chocolate chips, and even cheese to them.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

Delicious! I made these scones for my family and they loved them. The cornmeal gave them a nice crunch.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have added a little more milk.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great! I used white cornmeal and they had a lovely golden color. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not usually a fan of cornmeal scones, but these were really good! The texture was light and fluffy, and the flavor was just right.

These scones were a hit at my brunch party! They were so easy to make and had such a delicious, slightly sweet cornmeal flavor. I added some fresh blueberries and they were perfect.
