?Fruited buttermilk scones are a type of scone that is made with buttermilk and fruit. The fruit can be fresh or dried, and the scones can be flavored with spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. These scones are typically served with butter and jam, and they can also be served with clotted cream or lemon curd.
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in butter and maple syrup. Stir in fruit and orange peel. Make a well in center of this mixture; pour in buttermilk. Stir until moistened. Pat dough into a ball, and knead on floured surface for 3 minutes. Shape into a dome. Place on lightly oiled cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, with sharp knife, score top into quarters, making cut 1/2" deep. Continue baking another 20 minutes; top will be golden brown when finished.
