Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 180 milliliters Buttermilk
- 1 unit Egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Stir in the finely chopped fresh dill, distributing it evenly through the mixture.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Using a fork or your hands, gently mix the ingredients until they come together to form a soft dough. Avoid overworking the dough to keep the scones tender.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat it into a circle or rectangle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Using a round cutter or a knife, cut the dough into 8 equal scones. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
If desired, brush the tops of the scones with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the scones are well-risen and lightly golden.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite toppings or enjoy plain.
