2 C white flour 

¼ tsp salt                  

1 tsp baking powder        

1 tsp baking soda

1/3 C sugar                  

½ stick butter, cold               

1/3 C The Tasteful Olive’s Lemon Fusion olive oil

1/2 C buttermilk      

1 T lemon juice          

(Variations: 2/3 C crystallized ginger chopped, or 2/3 C fresh blueberries)

 

Combine all dry ingredients. Blend in butter with a pastry blender or knives. Stir in oil, buttermilk and lemon juice. Mix gently with a spoon. Knead on floured surface just until combined. Add ginger or blueberries at the end, folding in gently. Flatten out so dough is ½” thick and in a circle. Cut in wedges. Bake in 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.

 

(Another variation is to use Orange olive oil and chocolate chips)
