Soda Scones

3 Cups flour
1 Teaspoon cream of tartar
1 Cup buttermilk
1 Teaspoon salt
1 Teaspoon baking powder

Stir together the dry ingredients and mix lightly with the hands. Make a hollow in the center and add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead quickly and lightly until the dough is free from cracks. Roll out the required thickness and cut in scones. Place on a greased and floured tin and bake in a hot oven 400 until thoroughly baked about 15 minutes
