Tips:
- For a crispy exterior and fluffy interior, use a combination of plain and self-rising flour.
- For a more flavorful scone, add grated cheese, herbs, or spices to the dough.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little milk or buttermilk until it comes together. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour.
- Do not overwork the dough, as this will make the scones tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- For a taller scone, use a biscuit cutter to cut out the scones. If you don't have a biscuit cutter, you can use a knife or a glass.
- Bake the scones in a preheated oven until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve the scones warm with butter, jam, or your favorite topping.
