Rory'S Irish Scones

• 4 cups white flour
• 1/2 heaping teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 heaping teaspoon sugar
• Sift ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
• 2 cups buttermilk

1. Preheat oven to 400u0b0.
2. Sift ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add buttermilk.
4. Mix together by hand until thoroughly combined (be careful not to overwork the dough, as this causes toughness).
5. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and form into a large rectangle about 1 inch thick.
6. Using a rolling pin and extra flour as needed, roll rectangle into a 3/4 inch thickness.
7. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into nine strips about 1 inch wide, then cut each of the strips into six 1-inch squares.
8. Lightly flour a large sheet pan and arrange the dough squares in nine rows of six, just barely touching.
9. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 10 more minutes. (If you use a convection oven, bake for 1o minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 7 minutes more.)
10. Serve Rory's Irish Scones with our soups, salads, or main courses; they are perfect anytime.
