Soda Bread with Chive Crème Fraiche
Ingredients
- 3 ½ Cups AP Flour
- 1 tsp. Salt
- 1 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp. Chopped Herbs (such as parsley, tarragon and chives)
- 1 2/3 Cups Buttermilk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 475 and line a sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix in herbs.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Incorporate the buttermilk into the flour with your hands to form a soft dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Pat down to about ¾ inch thickness and cut into 16 pieces. Place on the sheet pan.
- Bake about 15 minutes until golden (turn oven down to 400 after 10 minutes if the scones are already brown by that point). Cool on a wire rack.

- 1 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- 1 tablespoon chives, minced
