Tips:
- For the best results, use cold butter. This will help to create flaky layers in the scones.
- Do not overwork the dough. Overworking will result in tough scones.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk or buttermilk.
- When cutting out the scones, use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter. This will help to create clean edges and prevent the scones from sticking together.
- Bake the scones in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the scones rise evenly.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or clotted cream.
