Don't you love it when you find a recipe and you have all of the ingredients already at hand. That's what happened to me when I was browsing through a random cook book recently and the reason I especially liked this recipe was because it required buttermilk which I had leftover from another project.
That recipe only called for one cup and I can only ever find buttermilk in quart size, most recipes call for very little and then the rest ends up sitting at the back of the fridge beside the jar of sauerkraut which you bought for your fourth of July party and only one person used.
Tell me I'm not the only one this happens too? If anyone has some good buttermilk recipes please send them my way so I can use up any leftovers and if they also contain sauerkraut I'll send you a bonus prize.
I did tweak this recipe a tiny bit by using maple syrup instead of sugar and added cranberries. I also topped the scones with some vanilla almond granola which became toasty in the oven and the results were encouraging enough to make them again, I'm actually looking forward to breakfast tomorrow and having one of these warmed up with some butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
