Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup butter (chilled and cut in pieces)
• 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
• 1 large egg (beaten)

Recipe

• 1 in a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, sugar, and salt.
• 2 with a pastry blender cut in the butter till mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 3 add buttermilk and egg to above and mix lightly till mixtures forms a soft dough.
• 4 heat griddle with a tad of shortening.
• 5 drop dough by heaping tablespoons to make 3 or 4 scones; with the back of a spoon, spread dough into a flattened 3" round (to be repeated when these are done).
• 6 cook till golden brown on remaining side and center seems firm when gently pressed.
• 7 remove and keep warm till all the scones are baked.
• 8 serve warm with butter and jam or lemon curd.
• 9 originally: an ungreased griddle was used, however, a lightly greased one is suggested unless you have a well-seasoned one.
