Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt ( can reduce but not eliminate, needed to rise properly)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
raisins
1/4 teaspoon ginger (optional)
powdered sugar (optional)
butter (optional)
honey (optional)
Directions:
Must have a griddle if want to be stovetop, but may also try 350 F oven (I don’t know how long because I always use griddle).
Sift together dry ingredients then cut in butter or lard. Make a hole in the center and pour in buttermilk.
Stir until a soft dough mix. Roll out with rolling pin to 1/2 inch thick.
Cut into squares and then fry on a hot greased griddle as if pancakes, but will be thicker.
Brown both sides or a oven as mentioned above.
Serve hot or cold with frosting or powdered sugar. I like butter alone.
