Girdle Scones AKA Soda Scones
My Scottish Great Grannie's recipe. This is a heavy, buttermilk scone. If you want a pastry, look elsewhere. These are best fresh with jam or preserves. Alternatively, you can dip them into a bit of tea or coffee, this works well if they're a day old and less fresh.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- 2
Add Buttermilk to make soft dough. Mix with hands just until forms a ball. Too long makes the scones a little tough.
- 3
Pat a ball of dough into a circle about 8-10 inches across, you can use a rolling pin to make it a little thinner, but not less than 1/4". Cut each circle into quarters.
- 4
Bake on a fairly hot griddle 5 minutes on each side, and about 1 minute on the edges, tip them against each other or the edge of the pan. You can also use an iron skillet or frying pan if you don't have a traditional Scottish girdle.
- 5
If they are too doughy inside you can cook the next batch a little longer.
- 6
These scones are a heavy bread, so don't be surprised by that.

Scones Scones
The scones I had at a café were just too delicious that I became addicted. Since I like a simple taste that goes with jam and cream, I made these soft and fluffy with no sweetness.I used a half-amount of chocolate chips, 30 g. Jam tablets are also delicious.I use good flour when making scones. This time I used dolce.I think they're best when warm, so if they cool, please heat them in a microwave or toaster oven before eating. Recipe by nyonta

I made my own versions of a recipe I saw in a magazine a while ago. I tried adding yogurt and other ingredients, but settled on this.In step 3, make sure you mix until the dough is crumbly. If you are using a cup to cut out the pieces, the dough will expand nicely if you use a cup with a thin rim. Recipe by lov_sweets -

I aimed to emulate KFC's biscuits (scones), and after a lot of trial and error this is the recipe I've settled on. In the end they are different from the KFC version, but it's simpler and easier to eat than the version I was aiming for.When you get used to making these, you can make the dough while the oven is heating up. The important points are as follows: Make sure the butter doesn't melt, and to just work quickly. If you chill the butter and the floury ingredients in the refrigerator beforehand, they'll be easier to work with. Don't knead the dough. The scones will become heavy, and won't split easily. If the dough becomes too soft, chill it in the refrigerator before proceeding. Recipe by Yukiline -
