Categories     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Yield 6 scones

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup buttermilk
extra flour, for kneading

Steps:

  • Preheat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat while you make the dough. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and whisk to blend. Stir in buttermilk, forming a sticky dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead until dough is no longer sticky and fairly smooth (about 1 minute). Shape dough into a ball and press it out into a disc about 1/2-inch thick. Transfer dough to skillet and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until bottom is golden brown. Turn dough over, and cook for another 8-10 minutes until bottom is golden brown and bread is set. Check for doneness by gently pressing the sides of the dough to see if the bread springs back into place. If not, reduce heat slightly (to prevent over-browning) and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Cut bread into quarters to serve (traditional for farls; or 6-8 scones for a larger crowd) Bread is best when it is fresh.
