This classic tea-time griddle scone recipe originates from Scotland and this recipe comes from the 1930s.

Ingredients:

450g barley meal
1/2 tsp salt
120g plain flour
720ml buttermilk
1 large teaspoon baking soda

Method:

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl then stir in the barley meal. Add the baking soda and the buttermilk to a bowl and when the mixture begins to fizz stir in the dry ingredients. Form into a soft dough (add more buttermilk if needed).

Quickly turn the dough onto a lightly-floured work surface then roll out to 12mm thick. Cut into rounds with a pastry cutter then bake on a hot griddle until the underside is browned. Turn over then cook until browned on the other side.

Serve warm with butter and jam.
