Easy Lime Buttermilk Scones Recipe

• servings: 6 servings
• total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups (8 3/4 ounces) all-purpose flour

1/4 cup (1 3/4 ounces) granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

9 tablespoons (4 1/2 ounces) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

2 tablespoons lightly packed zest from 2 limes

1 large egg

5 tablespoons buttermilk

Directions

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Place flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and butter in large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut butter into flour until much of the butter is the size of very small peas.

Add lime zest, egg, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon, and then hands until mixture forms a dough (it may feel dry at first but will come together.)

Place dough onto a lightly floured board and pat into a 7-inch disc. Cut into 6 wedges and evenly space on pan. Bake until set and edges are golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool.
