first try at scones
I attempted making scones from scratch for the first time, using the recipe in my Cook’s Illustrated cookbook, but using buttermilk instead of milk. I made some of them plain and some with blueberries. Next time I’ll probably add a tiny bit more sugar (1 Tbsp, maybe) and will sugar the tops (which I only did on some of them this time).

Hopefully I’ll have mastered these by the time you and Anna visit again!

which will be sooner now that you have scones to tempt us!
also, will you send the recipe? I just learned that my oven actually does work … it’s just packed full of junk because the guy who owns the apartment has no. idea. how. to. cook.

I hope you allowed for the higher acidity of the buttermilk and adjusted your chemical leaveners accordingly. Not that it appears to be a huge deal in your results, but the rise looks a bit uneven in that pic.
