Tips:
- Proper Ingredient Measurement: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially flour and butter, to ensure consistent results.
- Cold Butter: Keep the butter cold until you mix it into the dough. This will help create flaky layers in the scones.
- Buttermilk or Yogurt: Buttermilk or yogurt adds moisture and tanginess to the scones. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Don't Overwork the Dough: Mix the dough just until it comes together. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
- Bake at a High Temperature: Bake the scones at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for a short period of time. This will help create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
