Tips:

Chilling the dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to create a more flaky and tender scone. Make sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Use cold butter: Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. If the butter is too warm, it will melt into the dough and make the scones tough.
Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
Use a light hand when shaping the scones: When shaping the scones, be gentle and don't press down too hard. This will help to keep the scones light and fluffy.
Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top. A toothpick inserted into the center of a scone should come out clean.
