    Useless recipe. Dough starts out way too sticky. I needed to add more flour (and I used a baking measure to measure, so no “oh this is about a cup” nonsense). The ratio of wet to dry is completely off. I’ve made a few scone recipes, and this is easily the worst.

    I was a little bit disappointed with this recipe …. the scones were extremely flat. The recipe made no mention of baking powder and stated that cake wheat flour was to be used, not self raising. The consistency of my dough was perfect so the end result was upsetting. I would not make this recipe again.

      Hi Alison, this Classic Buttermilk Scone recipe undoubtedly requires using baking powder when using cake wheat flour.
