3 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons butter -- (6 oz), frozen
1 cup buttermilk -- plus
2 tablespoons buttermilk -- (Can use powdered buttermilk and water)
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest -- minced

This method with frozen butter is an excellent way to achieve flakey
scones; if you don't have time, simply use cold butter that has been
sliced into 12 pieces.
Preheat the oven to 425F
Preheat the barbecue with lit charcoal for 3 - 5 min.
12 - 14 briquettes in barbecue, briquettes in a ring pattern.
While charcoal is heating, go about preparing the dough.
Combine flour, 1/3 c sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a
mixing bowl. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate in the
butter. Stir until mixture resembles lumpy coarse crumbs. Add the
buttermilk, lemon zest, cardamom and pecans; mix gently with a
fork. The dough should be just barely moist and won't come
completely together until the next step.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured board (or waxed paper), gather
and knead very briefly just until to comes together. Take care not
to work too much extra flour into it. Divide the dough in
half. Form each half into a 12" thick circle. Place it into a
lightly greased two 10" Dutch ovens. Cut into six triangles. Brush
tops with the egg white mixture and sprinkle generously with the
sugar. This will create shine and make tops brown nicely
Bake for 12 - 15 min or until golden. Transfer to a wire rack to
cool slightly and serve warm
Bake Time: 12 - 15 min
