Ingredients:

Leek and Thyme Scone Loaf:
2 Tbsp butter
2 leeks, Cleaned and sliced
2 tsp fresh thyme, minced
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

Melt butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add leeks, cook, 15-20 minutes, until soft not brown, stirring often. Set aside.

Preheat oven 350F/180C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.

In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Add the cold butter and rub with your fingertips, until the mixture comes together in pea size crumbs.  Add fresh thyme. Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together and add to the dry buttered ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon, until all is incorporated. Stir in the cooled leeks. Pour dough onto the prepared baking tray and work dough into a large circle, about 1 1/2-inch thick. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Let sit 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
