Buttermilk Scones

Claudia Grehl (Minnesota) says:

The dough was too soft and sticky so I added about 2/3 cup more flour. I was unable still to knead the dough so I dropped the dough from a serving spoon onto a greased cookie sheet. I only put 6 on a jellyroll pan. The recipe made 8. They baked for about 14 min. The size increased to a very nice size. They were light and fluffy inside. I would add more of the berries. I used cranberries and they tasted really good.

Very good taste and tenderness. I, too, had similar problem w/ the amount of liquid. I think I'd try 1/2 cup of buttermilk instead of 3/4 cup. I've had good luck w/ Trader Joe's buttermilk and Pet's whole buttermilk.
