TRADITIONAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need:
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Pour contents of bag into mixing bowl. Cut in 3/4 cup butter until mixture is fine and crumbly.
- Stir in 1 cup buttermilk. Dough will form a soft ball. Turn dough out onto floured board; knead gently 3-4 times.
- Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a flattened circle, 6-7 inches in diameter, approximately 1 inch thick. Blueberries, chocolate chips, or raisins may be kneaded in at this point for different flavors.
- Using a sharp knife, cut circle into eighths (or quarters if larger scones are desired). Dough may also be frozen at this point for later use.
- Place scones on parchment lined cookie sheets. Sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar. Bake in preheated oven at 425 degrees for 13-18 minutes (time will vary with scone size). Top should be very light golden brown when done.
- Serve warm with toppings of choice and enjoy!
