Cooking Tips

• Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces for the best texture.
• Do not overmix the dough, as this can result in tough scones.
• Feel free to customize the mix-ins by adding your favorite nuts or dried fruits.

Storage and Serving

• These scones are best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If serving later, you can reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave for a few seconds.
• Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
