Loading...| 4 cups flour ( for white flour I prefer unbleached all-purpose ) | |

| 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar | |
| 2 tablespoons butter , just melted | |
| 2 cups buttermilk | |

| 3. | Add the melted butter to the buttermilk, and then add the baking soda and stir. |
| 4. | Mix the buttermilk mixture with the dry ingredients until well combined. |
| 5. | Dust a clean surface with flour, and turn the dough onto it. Knead the dough until it comes together. |
| 6. | Pat the dough into a circle, around 1 1/2 inches thick, and then cut the dough into 8 wedges. |

-Easy and quick to make

Buttermilk is low in fat and calories and is a good source of calcium, vitamin D, and probiotics which are beneficial for digestive health. However, these scones should be enjoyed in moderation as they are still a baked good high in sugar and refined flour.
