  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the scones. This will help to prevent the scones from crumbling.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
