Scottish girdle scones

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 ounces Flour
½ teaspoon Bicarbonate of soda
½ teaspoon Cream of tartar
½ teaspoon Baking powder
1 ounce Butter
1 teaspoon Golden syrup
8 ounces Buttermilk, full cream milk, or sour milk

Directions

Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the other dry ingredients and mix.

Rub in the butter. Add the syrup and the milk and mix with a palette knife to a soft consistency. Turn on to a floured surface and roll quickly and lightly (handle as little as possible) to about ¾ inch thick. Cut into rounds. Grease and heat the girdle or heavy frying-pan (it should be quite hot). Lift the scones on to the girdle and, with a slice or broad knife, turn once until brown on both sides. Serve freshly baked, spread with butter.
