Buttermilk Scones are a traditional British recipe that is popular in many countries. They are made with flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, eggs and buttermilk.
The recipe is not complicated but it does take some time to prepare. They are often served with cream, butter and jam, or as part of a more elaborate tea time routine.
The dough can also be shaped into rounds or squares before baking to create different shapes of scones.
