A favourite of my mums, I wanted to find a nice home made recipe that was quick and easy.
Most of the ingredients were to hand other than butter milk. For that I found an alternative (see below)

Steps

1

Pre heat oven to 200C
2

Mix milk and lemon juice together and let sit for 15 mins. The acid in the lemon reacts with the milk and it starts to curdle.
3

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large bowl
4

Add the buttermilk and water and mix. I use a wooden spoon but quite quickly you will need to mix by hand. I tip onto clean work surface that has been lightly floured.
5

Once mixed, make into a ball them flatten down slightly. With a bread knife, score a cross about a 1/3 way through dough
6

Transfer to baking paper on a baking tray / stone and pop in the oven
7

Bake for 40 mins.

Remove to wire rack, let cool and start eating! Enjoy
