By KimberlyI had trouble finding a recipe for a good, basic scone, so developed this recipe. Use the BEST butter you can get!
Ingredients for 16 scones:
unbleached flour 1 1/2 c
untreated white pastry flour 1 c (Staff of Live, etc)
whole wheat pastry flour 1/2 c
organic sugar 1/3 c
baking powder 2 1/2 t
salt 3/4 t
baking soda 1/2 t
chilled unsalted butter 1 c (1/2 lb)
buttermilk 1 c
Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a half-sheet pan with cooking parchment.
Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter until it looks like a coarse meal. Gently stir in buttermilk. Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface & knead 3-4 times, just until dough holds together. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a circular disc 3/4-inch thick. Cut each disk into 8 wedges and arrange on prepared baking sheet.
Bake approximately 15 minutes, until golden. Serve warm or at room temperature with homemade preserves, or as a base for strawberry shortcake.
