This is what you need
2 cups plain flour
1 tblsp sugar
1 tsp salt or to taste
1 & ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup or 115 gm COLD butter
½ cup buttermilk
¼ cup cold milk
Do this:
Preheat oven at 180
Lay a baking sheet in the pan
Whisk together all dry ingredients
Cut the butter in small pieces and using cold dry hands crumble it all together
Keep in mind, you don’t want to knead a dough! It has to just hold together. If the dough feels too wet, flour the surface in between, but don’t use extra flour. Trust me on this – I’ve made enough hard scones to know
So on a floured surface gather the dough together and flatten thick enough – around 1 & ½ inch high
Using a cutter cut out scones, taking care to not twist the cutter otherwise you will seal the edges and the scones won’t be flaky
Place them in the tray – do not butter it, there’s enough butter here!
Bake them till golden on top – around 15 to 20 mins depending on your oven
Let them cool slightly before digging in – though that it something my family haven’t managed to do yet 
**Keep in mind: if you double the recipe, don’t double the baking soda, keep it at 3/4 of a tsp!**
