How to Make Irish And Scottish Gaelic Soda Bread Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C/450°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 450g (3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp salt, and 50g (1/4 cup) caster sugar.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually add 400ml (14 fl oz) buttermilk, mixing gently with a knife or your hand until a soft dough forms. Add more buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time, if needed, until the dough is soft but not sticky.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface and gently knead for 1-2 minutes, just until the dough comes together. Do not overwork.
  5. Pat or roll the dough to a thickness of 2.5cm (1 inch).
  6. Use a 7.5cm (3-inch) round cookie cutter to cut out 8-10 scones. Gently regather and re-roll scraps to make more scones.
  7. Place scones onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and well-risen.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spread!
