Mini Savoury Buttermilk Mint Scone

What do you do when you runs out of buttermilk? Ahhhh, simple.... just go and get one from your nearby supermarket, right! But I'm not that lucky! There's no way I can get buttermilk here (I mean around my living area). I'm glad there's still something what we call homemade buttermilk. ^_^ And I am making these scones with my first batch of homemade buttermilk. yay.... The recipe is shown as below this page.

So, here we go!

Ingredients for scone dough :

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tspn salt

1 tbsp baking powder

110gm cold butter, cubed

3/4 cup homemade buttermilk

1/4 cup chopped sausage

handful of mint leaves

*shredded cheddar cheese for topping

Method :

(1) blend together milk and mint leaves.

(2) combine flour, baking powder and salt in a big bowl.

(3) add in butter and rub in using fingertips untill combined.

(4) stir in milk mixture and chopped sausage to form a sticky dough.

(5) place soft dough onto a floured working table.

(6) press dough into 2cm thick and divide dough by using cutting mould.

Oh my, these babies are HOT! Super love the minty and cheesy aroma. Just add in an extra spread of butter. Perfectly yummmm...... I am trying to imagine if there's a scoop of hot mashed potatoes in the middle of these scones. Oooo...... lala.... *slurp* Frankly, Scones aren't something popular here in Malaysia especially small places like this. And I'm glad scone making isn't complicated at all. It is best to prepare this an hour before tea time so that you can have them straight from the oven. And I love them sweet or savoury! Hope you all will love it too. Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me is this the right texture????
