2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cold buttermilk (plain yogurt thinned with milk may also be used with great results)
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus 2 tablespoons melted butter for brushing scones

8
