tips to make Scones
- Make sure not to over-knead the dough; this can make the scones tough.
- Use cold butter or Rama/Woodenspoon for a flakier texture.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like dried fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts for variety.
- Don’t skip the baking powder; it helps the scones rise.
