Those of you watching the Edwardian Farm will have seen them selling cream teas to the tourists who came in on the boat. Here is a recipe for the cut rounds - made instead of scones. - taken off the website for the series - actually in the chat at the end! 
Ingredients
170g/6oz self-raising flour
170g/6oz plain flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
290ml/½ pint buttermilk
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400F/200C/Gas 6.
2. Tip the flours, salt and bicarbonate of soda into a large mixing bowl and stir.
3. Make a well in the centre and pour in the buttermilk, mixing quickly with a large fork to form a soft dough. (Depending upon the absorbency of the flour, you may need to add a little milk if the dough seems too stiff but it should not be too wet or sticky.)
4. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.
5. Form into a long round sausage and then cut from length the thickness rounds you require and place on floured baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 30 minutes then cool on a wire rack.
N.B.
As mentioned on the programme it is the interaction between the Bicarb and the Buttermilk that will cause the mixture to rise.
Add dried fruit if using for cream teas.
Ain't the internet a wonderful thing!
