Creamy Buttermilk Scones image

Yet another scone recipe, I know. This is from the Vegetarian Epicure - called simply Cream Scones originally, but for the purposes of this site, I thought my new title was more descriptive. These are just wonderful.

Categories     Scones

Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2 tablespoons sugar
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup melted butter
1/3 cup currants

Steps:

  • Beat together the buttermilk, egg and sugar.
  • Mix 3 cups flour together with the baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Add about 2/3 of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and stir well.
  • Gradually add the melted butter, incorporating it thoroughly into the mixture.
  • Stir in the remaining flour mixture and the currants.
  • A little more flour may be necessary to form a stiff dough.
  • Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead for several minutes.
  • Separate it into 3 equal parts.
  • Shape each part into a thick circle about 4-5 inches across.
  • Cut the circles into quarters with a sharp knife, and arrange the scones on a buttered cookie sheet (I use a baking stone).
  • Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. (watch them so they don't dry out!).
  • Serve warm, or cold if you can wait that long.

These scones were a complete disaster. I would not recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scones turned out really dense and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These scones were a bit too sweet for me, but overall they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

Not bad, but a bit too dry for my taste.

I was looking for a new scone recipe and I'm so glad I found this one. The scones were light and fluffy, and the buttermilk gave them a lovely tang. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love that I can use fresh or frozen blueberries.

These scones were a delightful surprise! I was hesitant to try them because I'm not a big fan of buttermilk, but I'm so glad I did. The scones were light and fluffy, with a perfect balance of sweetness and tang. I'll definitely be making these again!
