Biscones Recipe

Recipe by: Hazel1014

"This is part biscuit, part scone, and all delicious! Brush with milk before baking, if desired."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
2Combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture using a fork, your hands, or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix buttermilk into flour mixture until dough starts to stick together.
3Turn dough onto a floured work surface and shape into a 1/2-inch-thick circle. Cut dough into 4 wedges and then into 8 wedges using a sharp knife. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
4Bake in the preheated oven until biscones are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
