Flour a work surface well before gently rolling the dough to about 2cm thick
Form rounds using a medium-sized cookie/pastry cutter
Place the rounds on the baking tray leaving a little space between
Brush the top of each with the reserved buttermilk
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops have turned a light golden brown
