Buttermilk Scones image

I got the recipe for this in Julian, California when my boyfriend and I went to Julian Tea and Cottage Arts for lunch. They serve these delicious scones with whipped cream and raspberry preserves. The recipe is quite heavy on the butter but it makes for very tender and moist scones. I did not have a food processor so I just ground the butter into the flour using an egg whisk, which worked out fine. You may need more flour than what is listed, I did. Rather than rolling them out I simply dropped them by hand onto greased baking sheets. Enjoy.

I was disappointed with these buttermilk scones. They were too dense and didn't have much flavor. I think I'll stick to my usual scone recipe.

These buttermilk scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might have overmixed the dough. However, the flavor was still good and I enjoyed the crunchy sugar topping.

These scones were a hit with my family! They disappeared within minutes. I loved the combination of buttermilk and dried cranberries. Next time, I might try adding some chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
