Serve warm with butter, jam, or clotted cream. Store cooled scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a low oven for a freshly baked texture.
Variations:
Add ½ cup of raisins, dried cranberries, or chocolate chips to the dough.
Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla or citrus zest for extra flavor.
Use buttermilk instead of regular milk for a slightly tangier taste.
FAQ:
Q: Can I make the dough ahead of time?
A: Yes, you can refrigerate the shaped dough for up to 24 hours before baking.
Q: Can these scones be frozen?

Q: How do I keep scones soft?
