Method
- 1Preheat the oven to 200°C fan-forced. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
- 2In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, caster sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use your fingertips to rub it into the flour mixture until it resembles fine sand.
- 3Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Using a flat-bladed knife, mix until just combined to form a rough dough.
- 4Lightly flour a bench and turn out the dough. Gently knead until it just comes together. Pat into a 2 cm-thick round disk. Using a 5 cm round cutter, cut out 12 scones.
- 5Place the scones close together on the prepared tray and brush with the remaining buttermilk.
- 6Bake for 12–15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with fresh cream and jam.
