Scones are the first cousins of the Irish Soda Bread, and making them can be the first step in learning how to make the bigger loaf. Gentle handling is the secret. One does not knead in the normal way that is used for yeast bread. Just a quick, light turning and folding in a sprinkling of flour are all that one needs to do. Scones are eaten for tea, split open and spread with butter and jam.

sleepydudeGreat way to use up buttermilk! Simple, especially if you use a food processor to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
SummertaosGood with jam!
