Yield Makes 1 dozen scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 large egg, beaten
Vegetable oil for greasing
Equipment: a large griddle (preferably cast-iron) or a 10-inch cast-iron skillet

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cream of tartar in a large bowl, then blend in butter with your fingertips or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in buttermilk and egg with a fork just until a soft dough forms.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. With lightly floured hands, divide dough into thirds and knead each piece 3 or 4 times. Pat each piece into a 6-inch round (1/2 inch thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.
  • Heat griddle over low heat until hot, then lightly oil.
  • Working in 2 batches, dust each wedge of dough with flour, patting off excess, then cook over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-low and cook until puffed and undersides are golden-brown, 3 to 5 minutes more. Turn scones over and cook until undersides are golden-brown, 6 to 8 minutes (watch closely; move scones and adjust heat as needed so they cook through without burning). Turn scones on edges and cook until golden-brown, about 1 minute per edge. Cut one scone open to check for doneness.
  • Transfer to a rack and cool to warm. (Lightly oil griddle between batches.)

Amazing Scones! I've tried many scone recipes, but Mary Hearty Bye's take the cake. They're incredibly moist and flavorful, with the perfect balance of sweetness and sourness.

Scrumptious! These Scottish scones were a hit at my breakfast table. The recipe was easy to follow, and the scones turned out beautifully golden and fluffy.
