Scottish Bread

Our Scottish Bread is slightly sweet, so we suggest serving it at breakfast or with your favorite afternoon tea.

Ingredients

4 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

1 1/3 cups buttermilk

2 Tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. Flour a large, heavy baking sheet.
In a large bowl combine first five ingredients. Add butter and mix with fork until a fine meal is formed. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the buttermilk and the honey until blended. Mix buttermilk into dry mixture. Gradually add remaining buttermilk until a soft dough is formed.
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until it holds together. Shape dough into an 8-inch round, about 1 1/2 inches high. Cut into 4 wedges. Place on floured baking sheet and bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Yields: 4 small loaves
