• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir by hand to distribute ingredients evenly.
• Cut butter into half-inch cubes. Add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add butterscotch chips to the flour mixture and mix by hand to distribute them through the flour.
• Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Pour into the flour mixture and stir to combine and evenly moisten the dry ingredients and form a dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a cutting board. With lightly floured hands, pat the dough into an 8-inch diameter circle. Don't make the dough too "tight." It should just hold together, with bits of air space within. Cut into 8 wedges. Place the wedges on a greased cooking sheet or pan, leaving spaces between them.
• Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, until scones are golden brown. Wait until the scones have cooled and are no longer hot before removing them from the sheet.
