These are the scones my mom has made for as long as I can remember and they are pretty much flop proof. The list of ingredients are short, the method is easy and the flavour is delicious!
Let’s get cooking…
Mix cubes of butter with the flour and salt until the mixture resembles wet sand. Add sugar and mix to combine
Slowly start to add just enough buttermilk to form a soft dough. Shape into desired pieces and bake at 200C for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Swaps…
The self raising flour can easily be swapped out for gluten free self raising to make this completely gluten free.
The buttermilk can also be substituted with yoghurt mixed with 2 tablespoons of milk.
Swapping the buttermilk for coconut yoghurt mixed with 2 tablespoons of coconut milk and the butter for plant based butter substitute will make this vegan.
