Form dough into 2 equal balls.

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃). Sprinkle clean work surface with 1 tablespoon reserved flour.

On floured surface, using fingertips, work one-half of dough into 6-inch circle, about ½-inch thick.

Cut circle into 6 equal wedges; place wedges on nonstick baking sheet, leaving a space of about 1 inch between each.

Repeat procedure, using remaining flour and dough.

Bake until lightly browned, about 10 to 15 minutes.

I used cream instead of buttermilk and it turned out very tender. Just don't overmix the dough. Add a bit more cream if the dough is too dry.
