Cooking Tips

  • Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces to ensure a flaky texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
  • For extra flavor, you can add herbs or spices to the dough, such as chopped chives or paprika.

Storage and Serving

  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat the scones, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes until warmed through.
