Yield Makes 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
Special equipment: a well-seasoned cast-iron griddle or skillet
Accompaniments: softened butter and jam

Steps:

  • Sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt into a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and butter in a small bowl with a fork, then add to dry ingredients and stir just until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half and knead each half 3 or 4 times. Pat each half into a 6-inch round (1/2 inch thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.
  • Heat griddle over low heat until hot. Working in 2 batches if griddle is small, lightly dust both sides of each scone with flour, shaking off excess, and cook scones over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Increase heat to moderately low and cook until scones are puffed and undersides are golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Turn scones over and cook until golden brown and cooked through (watch scones closely and adjust heat as needed so they cook through but do not burn), 7 to 8 minutes (cut one scone open to check for doneness).
  • Transfer to a rack and cool to warm, 3 to 4 minutes.

GRIDDLE SCONES



Griddle Scones image

Scones were originally baked on a griddle. Although the dough must be softer and the scones thinner in order to cook through on the griddle, they are served from a basket with butter, jam, or confectioners sugar. They are very similar to pancakes but you may pick them up with your fingers and eat them. Sometimes I have them with soup as a bread.

2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
7 fluid ounces buttermilk

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the scones rise evenly and create a flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
  • Work quickly when forming the scones. The dough should be handled as little as possible to prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Don't crowd the scones on the griddle. Leave enough space between them so that they can cook evenly.
  • Flip the scones only once. Flipping them too often will result in dry scones.
  • Don't overcook the scones. They should be cooked until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the griddle with your favorite toppings.

Conclusion:

Brown griddle scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these fluffy and flavorful scones right at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and satisfying breakfast, give these brown griddle scones a try.
