Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Grate the butter into the flour mixture to create a more even distribution and lighter scones.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.

  • Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or cream.
