Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your scones will taste. If possible, use organic ingredients.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make your scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Handle the dough gently: The more you handle the dough, the tougher your scones will be. Be gentle when mixing and shaping the dough.
- Use cold butter: Cold butter will help to create flaky layers in your scones. If you don't have cold butter, freeze it for 15 minutes before using.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help to firm it up and make it easier to work with. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Bake the scones at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes.
- Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm. You can reheat them in a warm oven or toaster oven before serving.
