Instructions:
-
Prepare Your Griddle:
- Ensure you have a griddle on hand for stovetop cooking. If an oven is your preference, preheat it to 350°F (though specific baking times are unavailable as the recipe primarily uses a griddle).
-
Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a mixing bowl, sift together the sugar, cream of tartar, flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Incorporate Butter:
- Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Add Buttermilk:
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk.
-
Mix the Dough:
- Stir the mixture until it forms a soft dough, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
-
Roll Out the Dough:
- With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to approximately 1/2 inch in thickness.
-
Cut into Squares:
- Using a knife, cut the dough into squares of desired size.
-
Cook on Griddle:
- Heat a greased griddle over medium-high heat. Place the scone squares onto the griddle, treating them like pancakes but with a thicker consistency.
-
Brown Both Sides:
- Cook the scones until they are golden brown on both sides, ensuring they are cooked through.
-
Optional Oven Method:
- Alternatively, if using an oven, follow the same procedure, cooking until golden brown (exact timing may vary).
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the scones hot or cold, as desired. They can be enjoyed plain or with toppings such as frosting, powdered sugar, or simply with a pat of butter.
-
Storage Tip:
- Store any leftover scones in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
These stove-top no-bake Scotch scones are a delightful addition to any breakfast spread, afternoon tea, or cozy winter gathering. Enjoy the warm, comforting flavors that evoke the spirit of Scotland in every bite!
