Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour2 tablespoons sugar3 teaspoons baking powder1/8 teaspoon baking soda6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed1 large egg1/2 cup buttermilkJam of your choice, optional
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk until blended; add to crumb mixture just until moistened.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead 10 times. Divide dough in half; pat each portion into a 5-in. circle. Cut each circle into six wedges.
Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Serve warm, with jam if desired.
