Campbell House Scones

I made these a while back, but haven't posted the recipe. They are so good, and easy. Similar to biscuits, but so much better, and (I think) easier to make. If you don't have buttermilk, you can always sour some milk by using 1 tsp. of lemon juice and adding milk to equal one cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Campbell House Scones

3 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup firm butter (1 1/2 sticks), cut into small pieces

1 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt until thoroughly blended. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles course cornmeal. Make a well in the center of the butter/flour mixture and add the buttermilk all at once. Stir mixture with a fork until the dough pulls away from sides of bowl. With your hands, gather the dough into a ball and turn out onto a lightly floured board. Divide dough into four parts and lightly pat each part into a circle. Cut each circle into four parts and place the wedges on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Serve warm with honey.

Makes 16 scones.
