Rory'S Irish Scones

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0.

2. 2

   Sift ingredients into a large mixing bowl.

3. 3

   Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add buttermilk.

4. 4

   Mix together by hand until thoroughly combined (be careful not to overwork the dough, as this causes toughness).

5. 5

   Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface and form into a large rectangle about 1 inch thick.

6. 6

   Using a rolling pin and extra flour as needed, roll rectangle into a 3/4 inch thickness.

7. 7

   Using a sharp knife, cut dough into nine strips about 1 inch wide, then cut each of the strips into six 1-inch squares.

8. 8

   Lightly flour a large sheet pan and arrange the dough squares in nine rows of six, just barely touching.

9. 9

   Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 10 more minutes. (If you use a convection oven, bake for 1o minutes, rotate the tray, and bake for 7 minutes more.)

10. 10

    Serve Rory's Irish Scones with our soups, salads, or main courses; they are perfect anytime.
