Eggless Tender Flaky Scones image

This lovely textured scone is from a chef at Hastings House, Canada. The key to its tenderness is not overhandling the dough. Best served with clotted cream, whipped cream with a touch of powdered sugar or marmalade. It's the easiest, best tasting scones I've ever come across.

These scones were so easy to make and turned out perfectly! I love that they're eggless, because I often have trouble finding eggs in the store.
