  4. Lift the leeks out of the water, dry them with a paper towel, and place them on the perforated tray of the Convection Steam Oven.
  5. Steam the leeks for two minutes.
  6. Preheat the Convection Steam Oven to 325°F on convection/humid.

  8. Add the butter to the bowl.
  9. Break the pieces of butter up into pea-sized pieces using your hands.
  10. Add in the leeks and whisk to combine.
  11. Using a wooden spoon, make a well in the flour.
  12. Pour the buttermilk and oil into the well and mix the dough together with a wooden spoon.
  13. Once the flour is fully incorporated, shape the dough into a ball and place into the prepared cake pan.
  14. Cut an X on top of the dough and lightly brush buttermilk on top.
  15. Bake for 55 minutes.
  16. Allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from the pan, and then allow to fully cool before enjoying.
