    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2               cups  all-purpose flour -- plus additional for dusting
    1           teaspoon  baking soda
    1           teaspoon  cream of tartar
       1/4      teaspoon  salt
       3/4           cup  buttermilk -- well-shaken
       1/4           cup  unsalted butter -- (1/2 stick), melted

Special Equipment:
A well seasoned cast-iron griddle or skillet

Sift together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt into a 
bowl. Stir together buttermilk and butter in a small bowl with a 
fork, then add to dry ingredients and stir just until a soft dough forms.

Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half 
and knead each half 3 or 4 times. Pat each half into a 6" round (1/2" 
thick), then cut each round into 4 wedges.

Heat griddle over low heat until hot. Working in 2 batches if griddle 
is small, lightly dust both sides of each scone with flour, shaking 
off excess, and cook scones over low heat, undisturbed, 3 minutes. 
Increase heat to moderately low and cook until scones are puffed and 
undersides are golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Turn scones over 
and cook until golden brown and cooked through (watch scones closely 
and adjust heat as needed so they cook through but do not burn), 7 to 
8 minutes (cut one scone open to check for doneness).

Transfer to a rack and cool to warm, 3 to 4 minutes.

Description:
    "Unlike oven-baked versions, griddle cooked scones get a 
wonderful golden crust, which is a delicious contrast to the soft, 
tender interior."
