Method:

1. Read the recipe. Did you read it? Read it again…

2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

3. In a medium bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

4. Cut cold butter into small pieces and rub together into dry ingredients with hands until flakes of butter appear thorough out.

5. Pour in buttermilk and mix in gently with a spatula. Add caramel bits. Once incorporated, mix with hands until it just comes together.

6. Turn out onto a silicone liner or plastic wrap and pat into a circle. Cut out with desired circle cutter.

7. Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

8. Place on pan and cook for 15 minutes. Let cool before removing from pan.

9. Enjoy!

Tip: Make sure to push in any caramel bits on the very bottom of the scones as they tend to leak out and cook onto the baking sheet.
