Sagey Scones

Ingredients

  • 2 c all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter chilled and diced
  • 1 bunch sage leaves diced
  • 3/4 c buttermilk but do you live in france? do you run a pancake establishment? is there a powerwashed, close-up-ready jersey cow in your vicinity? no? then just add a dash of lemon juice to literally any kind of milk you have on hand and you are good to go.
  • 1 tbsp melted unsalted butter for brushing the top

Instructions

  1. preheat oven to 450

  2. sift together the salt, flour, baking powder and baking soda

  3. toss in the butter and use knives or a potato masher or your fingers to crumble the butter through the flour mixture to create a nice grainy texture

  4. stir in sage (at this point, you could also add grated cheddar if you so desired)

  5. add little bleps of buttermilk while mixing until it all just holds together and is on the edge of being sticky

  6. pull out onto a floured surface, and with your floured hands form into a 7"x7" square, about 1/2" thick. once I've done that, I like to fold it over itself and smoosh down again so that once it's baked, it has a perfect little breaking point for putting jam/relish in, but follow your hearts.

  7. cut into squares or triangles or rhombi, brush the tops with melted butter, and toss in the oven on a tray for 10-12 mins tops.

  8. CONSUME
