How to Make Buttermilk Scone (Traditional & Healthy Version)
Buttermilk Scone is a beloved treat in Malaysia’s multicultural culinary scene, especially enjoyed in kopitiams and boutique cafés across the country. While scones have their origins in the UK, Malaysians have embraced and reinvented this classic, using local flavors and ingredients such as pandan and coconut, making it a unique fusion dish. The Malaysian Buttermilk Scone is light, fluffy, and subtly sweet, perfect for pairing with your favorite teh tarik or kopi O. Ideal for breakfast or an afternoon snack, these scones offer a healthier twist by incorporating wholesome ingredients and reduced sugar, making them suitable even for those mindful of their calories. The addition of buttermilk provides a tender crumb and gentle tang, while optional local twists like chopped pandan leaves or a hint of kelapa parut (grated coconut) showcase Malaysia’s rich culinary diversity. Whether served plain or with a touch of homemade jam, these scones are a delightful nod to Malaysia’s love for cross-cultural flavors.
