{"0":"1 - Preheat oven to 400 F \/200 C","2":"2 - In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.","4":"3 - Cut butter into small squares, (or grate it) and add to bowl. Mix until resembles coarse crumbs.","6":"4 - Mix in the buttermilk and combine gently. A lighter option here is to use non or low-fat plain yogurt that has been mixed with a little milk. The yogurt lends a slight tart flavor!","8":"5 - Turn out mixture onto a well floured surface and knead very gently for 2 minutes. Do not overwork the dough.","10":"6 - Pat into a rectangle shape, cut into roughly 12 squares and plop onto a greased baking tray.","12":"7 - Bake for 15 minutes, enjoy!","14":"**Other options: You could brush the tops to add different flavors. I'm planning to experiment with a melted butter, oregano + sage mixture."}
