Scones made with buttermilk are seriously some of the most delicious scones I have ever had. If you don’t believe me, give them a try! I couldn’t stop snacking on these and had to promptly think of who I could share them with so I wouldn’t eat them all! So, make these and make not only yourself happy but others too. Sharing is a wonderful thing.

These scones are quick to make and are perfect any time of the day, but making them early and then sitting down with some hot tea, cocoa or coffee, and a light, sweet scone sounds perfect. Maybe curl up with a good book and a big squishy blanket. That sounds amazing!

They also store well. I just put them in a gallon zip lock bag and they stayed fresh for several days. I’m not quite sure how long they keep because they were eaten up pretty fast!

Best Scones with Buttermilk

Lisa
These are the best buttermilk scones! They are bursting with orange and chocolate and perfect for anytime of the day!

Ingredients
  

Scones

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar plus extra for sprinkling on top
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup cold butter
  • orange peel from one orange
  • 1 cup buttermilk plus more for brushing on top
  • 1 tsp orange extract
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips

Easy Glaze (optional)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ tbs milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400˚ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium sized bowl.
  • Cut in the butter. You can use a fork or your hands! You want the dough to be somewhat clumpy/sandy.
  • Mix in the orange peel.
  • Add the buttermilk and orange extract and mix until fully combined.
  • Add chocolate chips to dough and mix until evenly distributed.
  • Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll out. You can cut the scones into any shapes you want, but I opted for wedge shapes. To get the wedge shapes I separted my dough into three balls, flattened each ball into a ~5in circle and then cut them into four wedges.
  • Place scones on lined baking sheet. Brush each scone with buttermilk and sprinkle a little sugar on each one.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • 10. While baking mix together the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. You can add more or less powdered sugar or milk to get the thickness you prefer.
  • 11. Drizzle with glaze when the scones are done- even though they are good enough to eat with it!
  • 12. Enjoy!
