Tips for Making Perfect Cheese and Garlic Scones:

  • Use cold, unsalted butter: This will help to create flaky layers in the scones.
  • Grate the cheese: This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the scones.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough will help the scones to rise properly.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven: This will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
  • Brush the scones with melted butter: This will give them a golden brown crust.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm, so they can be enjoyed fresh from the oven.
