Irish Soda Scones
Irish Soda Scones are classic soda bread in scone form. Have them for breakfast, afternoon tea, or alongside your corned beef and cabbage!
Servings: 8 scones
Ingredients
- 1 lb (about 3 1/3 cups) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
- 1 3/4 cup (414 ml) buttermilk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- Slowly add the buttermilk to the flour mixture until the dough is shaggy but not too sticky and wet. You may not need to use quite all of the buttermilk.
- Place the dough on a well-floured surface and quickly knead a couple of times to bring it together. Gently pat it into a disc about 1 inch thick, and cut out about 8 scones, reshaping the dough as needed. You can also cut traditional triangles, as well.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking pan, turn down the oven to 400F, and bake for about 20 minutes until well risen and golden on top.
- Serve warm with butter and jam, or alongside soups and stews.
