Tips:

Use cold butter: Cold butter is easier to grate and will create a flakier scone.
Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the scones to rise evenly.
Bake the scones in a hot oven: A hot oven will help the scones to rise quickly and create a golden brown crust.
Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm from the oven. You can also split them in half and toast them before serving.
