Bonnie Jane’s Scones in Arnprior was owned & operated by family members from 1993-2008. Here’s Aunt Janie’s recipe... a tried-and-true one used by multiple generations of our family! Tea biscuits or scones have been a staple in family farm kitchens for generations. They are quick to make and always delicious.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup quick oatmeal
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter, cold & cut in chunks
- 1 cup buttermilk
How to Make:
- Buzz all dry ingredients plus butter chunks in a food processor OR chop by hand with a pastry cutter or two knives.
- Put in medium bowl if you used food processor. Make hole in centre and add 1 cup buttermilk (or milk).
- Sir with spatula until it forms a ball.
- Dump out onto floured surface and knead about 20 times, using a splash of flour if needed.
- Roll out to about an inch or so in thickness and cut with a round cutter. Place on greased cookie sheet to touch each other for support.
- Bake at 450F for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Yum!
