Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and diced
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Optional: herbs, shredded cheese, or seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until a sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in a round shape using a spatula or spoon.
  6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until golden on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use cold butter and buttermilk for best texture.
  • Add-ins like cheese or herbs can elevate the flavor.
  • Wrap leftovers tightly and store for up to 2 days.
  • Great toasted the next day with butter or jam.
