Orange Buttermilk Scones
- 2-1/4 cups Plain Flour, Plus Extra To Dust
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Caster Sugar
- 1 whole Orange, Zested
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
- 1-1/2 Oranges, Juiced
- 1/2 cups Buttermilk
- Preheat the oven to 200u0b0C (about 390u0b0F) and line a baking tray. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, zest and butter in a large bowl. Place the juice and buttermilk in a jug and mix with a fork. Rub the butter into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs. You can also use the beaters of your hand mixer; I do this, it saves a lot of time and messy fingers.
- Add in the buttermilk mixture and, using dough hooks, mix until a soft dough is formed. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out until it's about 1/2-inch thick. Using a 6-7cm cookie cutter, cut out the scones and then place them on your lined baking tray.
- Place in the oven for 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Leave to cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Will keep at room temperature for 4-5 days.
