Ingredients

  • 300 g plain flour
  • Flour for dusting
  • 3 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 50 g margarine
  • 200 g buttermilk

Instructions

  • Place the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and mix well. Add the margarine and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk. Quickly work everything into a soft dough. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 225 °C.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured work surface into a square about 20 cm on each side. Cut into 16 small squares, each about 5 cm wide. Place the dough pieces onto the prepared tray.
  • Bake the rolls in the oven for 15–20 minutes (Gas Mark 4; fan 200 °C), until lightly golden. Remove from the tray and serve warm.

Notes

If you don’t have buttermilk, you can use soured milk instead. To make it, stir 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 250 ml milk and leave it to stand for about 5 minutes before using.
