Buttermilk Scones (Instant Pot)

Just the right combination of fluffy and crunch makes these mouth-watering scones a wicked part of any meal, not just breakfast. The Instant Omni toaster oven makes baking them a breeze.

2 cups all-purpose flour, unbleached
¼ cup granulated white sugar
1 Tbsp. baking power
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
½ cup butter, cold, cut into pieces
1 egg
½ cup buttermilk

Topping:
1 Tbsp. buttermilk
2 tsp. granulated sugar

In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Add the butter pieces into the bowl. Use a pastry blender to make coarse crumbs.

In another bowl, beat the egg with the buttermilk; add dry ingredients to make a soft dough.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead gently three to four times.

Pat or roll out the dough using a rolling pin into a circular shape that is about ¾" thick. Cut out 2½" rounds and arrange them on a prepared baking sheet.

Brush with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

Set the Instant Omni toaster oven to 375°F (190°C)  for 14 minutes; once the oven beeps, place the cooking pan into the oven.

Once the cooking is complete let the scones sit in the oven for 5-7 minutes.

Makes 7-8 scones.
