Ingredients
-
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
-
4 teaspoons baking powder
-
1 tablespoon white sugar, or more to taste
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
6 tablespoons butter
-
¾ cup buttermilk
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
-
Combine 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.
-
Turn 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.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until biscones are lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
