Tips for Baking Carrot Scones

- **Use fresh carrots:** Fresh carrots will give your scones the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh carrots on hand, you can use frozen or canned carrots, but be sure to thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using. - **Grate the carrots finely:** Finely grated carrots will distribute evenly throughout the scones and won't make them too dense. - **Use a light hand when mixing the dough:** Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - **Chill the dough before baking:** Chilling the dough will help the scones hold their shape and rise evenly. - **Bake the scones in a hot oven:** A hot oven will help the scones rise quickly and develop a golden brown crust.
