THE SECRET TO FLAKY SCONES?
Make sure that your butter is very cold! I also like to use cold cream, eggs, & baking tools. The butter will melt and create those gorgeous, flaky, buttery layers.
To freeze scones, place the cut scones on a sheet pan & freeze. Then, pop them in a bag and freeze for up to 3 months. You don't even have to defrost the scones before baking them!
