mission accomplished
I made this scones recipe. With the important exception of putting the dry ingredients in the food processor, then chunks of butter on top, then pulse a few times instead of any crazy nonsense about hand grating butter. We added a couple of handfuls of craisins and a heaping teaspoon of orange zest. yummy!
total time – about 45 minutes. Easy, but makes kind of a mess, so probably not a do-it-all-the-time kind of thing.
I’m fascinated by how similar in texture they are to homemade biscuits, so I want to make my fantastic buttermilk biscuits again soon. I wish buttermilk came in smaller containers.

Mmm…looks good. I will probably try it this weekend…but will trade the raisins for dried apples. G is not a big raisin fan.
It looks nummy…will let you know how the variation works out. Thanks for posting the recipe!
You can get a powdered buttermilk in the baking aisle. It’s what my grandmother has used in all her buttermilk recipes for as long as I can remember. It turns out pretty darn good.
