Tips:

  • For a more authentic scone, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to use cold butter. This will help the scones stay light and flaky.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. This will help them rise quickly and develop a crispy crust.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream.

Crunchy scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are perfect for a quick snack or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own crunchy scones at home.
