Directions

In a large bowl, mix together the flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add in the butter and using a fork, mix it into the dry ingredients.
In a small bowl, mix together the eggs and buttermilk.
Add the wet ingredients into the flour bowl and give it all a rough mix.
Add in the cheese, olives, and basil.
Transfer dough into a lightly floured surface and start kneading, while adding more flour if needed.
When dough is smooth and everything is well incorporated, form dough into two equal balls. Working one at a time, gently flatted each ball into a thick disk and cut it into 6 wedges.
Place all 12 scones on a parchment lined baking sheet, brush them with buttermilk, and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the scones for 25 minutes or until golden brown on top. Let cool a little bit before slicing. Enjoy!
