Instructions

In a large bowl whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, sunflower seeds and salt.
Cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. (This can all be done by pulsing mixture in a food processor, carefully)
In another bowl whisk together buttermilk, molasses and egg.
Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and stir just enough to combine.
Gather dough into a ball and on a lightly floured surface knead gently just until it comes together in a soft dough (4-5 times)
Gently pat into a 7`by 10`rectangle and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Score into nine squares. Score the squares on the diagonal to form triangles.
Sprinkle with 2-3 Tbsp of sunflower seeds and gently press them in.
Bake at 400 F for 20-25 minutes until golden and the centre no longer feels soft.
Cool a few minutes before cutting.
