A fabulous recipe for buttermilk scones, with fresh strawberry bites 
and orange zest. You can use many fresh fruits, such as rapsberries, 
peaches, blueberries. And pair with zest from other citrus such as 
orange and lime.

Preheat oven to 400F/200C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper 
or grease the bottom.

Place flour, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar, nutmeg and lemon zest 
in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a 
few times to mix.

Scatter cubes of frozen butter on top, and process on low until the 
mixture is grainy and the butter the size of peas. Don't over-process.

Transfer to a large bowl, add the strawberries and mix lightly with a 
fork or spatula.

Add buttermilk all over the flour and fruit mixture, and mix with a 
spatula or fork until it comes together, but don't mix too much, or 
the scones will be tough and flat.

On a lightly floured surface, transfer the mixture, and with a dough 
scraper or your hands, pat it together, folding it unto 
itself,  until you have a dough that holds together. It will still be 
shaggy in places.

Make a rectangle, cut it in half, and then cut each half into 6 
triangles or similar. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle 
the tops with sugar, and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until 
golden, dry and quite firm. If you need to check, with a fork lift 
the top of a scone and see if the inside is dry.

They should be eaten within a few hours of baked, preferably warm.
