5 INGREDIENT BUTTER BATH SCONES

Buttermilk is a baker’s best friend, and its acidity is a wonderful tool to tenderise gluten and create soft baked goods.

Combined with the cultured butter, this treat is packed full of flavour and feeds a family at a moment’s notice. Butter Bath is not usually a phrase you hear when making scones, but trust us, it definitely works with this recipe, resulting in a pillowy soft, moist, rich and delicious savoury snack! These buttermilk scones are baked in a butter bath, and are fantastic when you’re in  need of a quick fix. If bacon and cheddar cheese isn’t your thing, try spinach and feta, rosemary and parmesan, or even apple and cinnamon sugar!

COOKING TIME:

25 Minutes

PREPARATION TIME:

20 Minutes

SERVES:

9 +

INGREDIENTS:

  • 125g Gippsland Jersey Butter, melted
  • 375g (2 1/2 cups) Self-raising flour
  • 500ml (2 cups) Gippsland Jersey Buttermilk
  • 65g (3/4 cup) Grated cheese (cheddar or tasty works well)
  • 3 shortcut bacon rashers, finely diced

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan forced. Pour the melted butter into a 20x20cm square ovenproof dish.

  2. Place the flour into a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the buttermilk and gently stir until just combined. Transfer the dough to the prepared buttery dish and use the back of a spoon to gently spread out to the corners.

  3. Use a large spatula to cut the dough into 9 squares, allowing the butter to run into the cuts. Sprinkle the tops with grated cheese and bacon.

  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until risen and golden. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow butter to be absorbed. Serve warm.
