Specialty Recipe

Buttermilk Scones

Ingredients:

2 cups unbleached flour

1/3 cup sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

6 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 large egg

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2/3 cup currants (optional)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut the butter into small cubes and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles beach sand. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla, add to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Fold in the currants. Drop large spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Insert a toothpick to center of scone; if it comes out clean, remove sheet from oven. Cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet. Remove scones to a wire rack to finish cooling.
