Making the Buttermilk Scones

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 220°C.
Grease and flour an 8cm x 19cm (base) square baking pan.

Prepare Dough

In the Thermomix bowl combine self raising flour, caster sugar, salt, and cubed butter.
Pulse for 5 seconds on speed 8 until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.

Add Buttermilk

Pour buttermilk through the lid opening and pulse for 5 seconds on speed 5 until the dough almost comes together.
The texture should be soft and slightly sticky.

Shape and Cut

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press it out to a 3cm thick round.
Dip a 5cm round cutter into flour to prevent sticking, then cut out scones.
Gently press any leftover dough pieces together and repeat until you have 12-14 scones.

Arrange and Bake

Place the scones, touching, in the prepared pan.
Bake for 15-17 minutes or until they turn light golden and sound hollow when tapped on top.

Serve

Allow the scones to cool slightly and serve with your favorite jam and cream.
