Scones

Ingredients

• 2 c self-rising flour
• 34 c buttermilk
• 12 tsp baking soda
• milk or egg for shine if desired

Directions

1. Scone dough must be handled minimally and quickly
2. As soon as the soda makes contact with liquid the rising action has begun The object is to get the scones into the oven quickly while the dough is still wobbling so the rising is not wasted
