Buttermilk Scones

Makes 12

450g self raising flour

pinch of salt

100g butter, cold & cubed

85g golden caster sugar

284ml (1/2pt) pot of buttermilk - don’t throw the pot away

2tsp vanilla extract

Grease & line a baking tray. Preheat the oven to 200c

In a large bowl sift the flour, stir in the salt & sugar then rub in the butter until it resembles fine breadcrumbs

In a small pan, gently warm the buttermilk & vanilla extract

Combine the wet and dry ingredients with a knife & ovoid over-working (your scones will be too dense if you do this)

On a floured surface roll out the dough (about 4cm thick) and stamp out the scones with either a round or square cutter & place on the baking tray

Add a splash of milk to the buttermilk pot & swirl to get all the remnants, use to glaze each scone

Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden on top & well risen

Cool on a wire rack

Can be kept in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze to use at a later date

They taste great just with buter, but you can serve them with clotted cream & jam for a delicious afternoon tea. If you add 150g of chopped glace cherries of sultanas to the mix you will get some tasty fruit scones
