Yield Makes 16

Number Of Ingredients 5

350g self-raising flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
a good pinch of salt
85g butter
284ml carton buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/gas 7/fan 200C. Mix the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl. Add the butter, cut into small pieces and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  • Tip in the buttermilk and mix lightly and quickly to form a soft dough. Knead very briefly, then roll out to 2cm thickness and cut into sixteen 5cm rounds.
  • Put on a baking sheet (no need to grease) a little apart, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until risen and pale golden.
