For best results, use chilled ingredients to ensure a tender, flaky scone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in tough scones. Feel free to add other ingredients like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor and texture. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
