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 Is Sweeter Than Sugar
Due to the high level of fructose, honey is 25% sweeter than table sugar.
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
