Tips:
- Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to create a more tender scone. If you're short on time, you can chill the dough for at least 30 minutes, but for best results, chill it overnight.
- Using cold butter: Cold butter helps to create flaky layers in the scones. If you use room temperature butter, the scones will be more dense.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together. If you overmix the dough, the scones may lose their rise.
- Baking the scones: Bake the scones in a preheated oven. If the oven is not preheated, the scones may not rise properly.
- Serving the scones: Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or cream. You can also add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar to the top of the scones.
