Buttermilk Biscones
These buttermilk biscones are incredibly easy to make and utterly delicious. With a flaky texture that melts in your mouth, they’re ideal served warm from the oven. Enjoy them plain, or go the extra mile by adding toppings such as jam or clotted cream.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1/2 cup add-ins (chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts, optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the cold, diced butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- If you’re using vanilla extract and any additional add-ins, fold those into the mixture at this point.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly shaggy.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1-inch thick.
- Using a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter, cut out your biscones and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the biscones in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they’re golden brown on the top.
- Once baked, remove the biscones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
These Buttermilk Biscones are sure to impress anyone who takes a bite. Whether enjoyed with a cup of tea or given as a homemade gift, they are a wonderful addition to any gathering. Happy baking!
