Buttercup Buttermilk Scones

Sienna McCarthy
Sienna McCarthy @SiennaTheBaker

These Buttercup Buttermilk Scones are soft, flaky, buttery, and packed with that cozy homemade bakery feel 🌼🧈✨ With a rich buttermilk base and a light savoury touch from the bacon grease brushed on before baking, these scones have the perfect balance of comforting, golden, and slightly rustic flavours. They’re not overly sweet, which makes them perfect for breakfast, brunch, soup on a rainy day, or simply eating warm with a little butter melting into the middle.

The bacon grease gives the tops a beautifully golden finish while adding a subtle savoury richness that makes these stand out from a classic sweet scone. Simple ingredients, warm oven, and a little bit of love — sometimes that’s all you need 💛

If you make these Buttercup Buttermilk Scones, don’t forget to save ⬇️, heart ❤️, and share ✉️ this recipe!

Heyooo! I’m Sienna, although I’m skilled and ambitious I consider myself an amateur baker 🍰✨So far, I’ve only made 12 cakes so far, but I’ve made lots of other treats like macarons, muffins, cupcakes, meringues, meringues and meringues… (yes, lots of meringues 😔). I’ve made them more times than I can count!I use AI to help put my recipes into proper format because I’m still working on my grammar and spelling🥲—but I promise that if any ideas aren’t mine, I’ll always mention it in the recipe 😊Thanks for stopping by, and happy baking! 😝
