Tips:
- Using cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. Grating the butter before adding it to the dough helps distribute it evenly.
- Make sure to work the dough as little as possible. Overworking the dough will result in tough scones.
- Don't overmix the scone dough. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
- Place the scones on a greased baking sheet before baking. This will help them brown evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will result in dry scones.
- Let the scones cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings, such as butter, jam, or clotted cream.
