How to Make Stove Top No Bake Scotch Scones

  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. (Alternatively, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)).
  2. In a large bowl, sift together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or lard using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in 3/4 cup buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it to 1/2-inch thickness.
  6. Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut the dough into squares.
  7. Carefully place the scones onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If baking in the oven, bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Serve warm or cold with your favorite topping – butter, frosting, or powdered sugar.
  9. Enjoy!
