Irish Soda Scones are classic soda bread in the form of tender little scones — have them for breakfast, afternoon tea, or alongside your corned beef and cabbage. If you’re a spur of the moment baker, you’re going to love these incredibly easy scones.
Ingredients:
450g plain (all purpose) flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
420ml buttermilk
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 220C and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Slowly add the buttermilk to the flour mixture until the dough is shaggy but not too sticky and wet. You may not need to use quite all of the buttermilk.
Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and quickly knead a couple of times to bring the ingredients together.
Gently pat it into a disc about 3cm thick, and cut out about 8 scones, reshaping the dough as needed. You can also cut traditional triangles, as well.
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray, reduce the oven to temperature to 200C, and bake in the centre of the oven for about 20 minutes, until well risen and golden on top.
Serve warm with butter or clotted cream and jam, or serve alongside soups and stews.
