Ingredients
2 cups flour
1 dash salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2.5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter
3/4 buttermilk, (or non-fat plain yogurt blending with a little milk)
Preparation
1 - Preheat oven to 400 F˚/200 C˚
2 - In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
3 - Cut butter into small squares, (or grate it) and add to bowl. Mix until resembles coarse crumbs.
4 - Mix in the buttermilk and combine gently. A lighter option here is to use non or low-fat plain yogurt that has been mixed with a little milk. The yogurt lends a slight tart flavor!
5 - Turn out mixture onto a well floured surface and knead very gently for 2 minutes. Do not overwork the dough.
6 - Pat into a rectangle shape, cut into roughly 12 squares and plop onto a greased baking tray.
7 - Bake for 15 minutes, enjoy!
**Other options: You could brush the tops to add different flavors. I’m planning to experiment with a melted butter, oregano + sage mixture.
