Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cups cold butter, cut into pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup prepared pesto
2/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Melted butter

Steps:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In large bowl combine flour, sugar, salt, pepper, baking soda and powder. Using your fingers, a fork or a pastry blender, cut in butter until it forms coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk, parmesan and pesto. Stir with a spoon until a dough forms, using your hands to bring it together. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently. Divide in half and pat each into 7 inch round circles, cutting into 6-8 triangles each. You can also cut out round scones or form the dough into a rectangle and cut squares. Brush each scone with melted butter. Bake for 12-14 minutes (wedges) or 9-11 minutes (rounds/squares). Top with butter pats.
