Ingredients - Preparation Method:

225 g plain flour -- plus extra 1 tsp baking powder 115 g butter -- cut into 1cm cubes 150 ml buttermilk handful of blueberries salt 1. Sift the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a bowl and rub in the butter (no so much that it resembles breadcrumbs); leave the butter in tiny lumps. Loosen the mixture with two tablespoons buttermilk; mix in the berries. Fold in the remaining buttermilk to form a soft consistency. 2. Heat a griddle or frying pan. Divide the mixture into six and shape into balls, using plenty of flour. Gently press each one into a 13cm/5in circle. Cook on the hot griddle until golden; turn halfway through cooking. Keep hot while cooking the rest, or eat cold. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - NOTES : These Northumberland scones are traditionally cooked on a girdle or griddle pan, but you can also use a heavy-based frying pan. ‘Hinny’ is a northern term of endearment; ‘singin’ is the noise made as the butter bubbles inside the mixture; and ‘blaeberry’ is the Border Country word for blueberry. Serve hot with crème fraîche or whipped cream, extra berries and a dusting of nutmeg. Makes 6 Per serving: 285 cals, fat 16g
