Yield Six scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons aniseed
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled
2/3 cup buttermilk, chilled
Sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly butter a large baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, aniseed and poppy seed. Cut the butter into chunks and place in the bowl. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour about a third of the buttermilk into the flour and toss lightly with a fork, pushing the mixture against the side of the bowl. Add more buttermilk and toss together, using just enough to make a soft but not sticky dough.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat gently into a square a half-inch thick and about nine inches to the side. Cut into six triangles.
  • Place the scones on the baking sheet and brush with buttermilk. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately, preferably with butter.
