|   |  Jam-in' Good Scones
 
  (12 servings)
 
  
 
		Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.1/4 cup of your favorite jam or marmalade
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
14 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter - cut into small pieces
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
 
 In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut in the butter until the dough resembles coarse cornmeal. Avoid over-handling the dough.
 
 Add the buttermilk and combine with a fork, then use your hands to gather the dough into a ball.
 
 Pat out the dough on a lightly floured surface and form it with your hands into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Spread jam on half the rectangle. Fold the other half onto the jammed half and roll out into a long rectangular shape about 3/4 inch thick.
 
 Cut the dough into 12 squares. Place the scones 1/2 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 14 to 15 minutes.
 
  
 The jam is baked right in, but that's no reason not to spread a little on top too!
