Recipe FAQ

Can I freeze these scones?

Yes, you can freeze these scones. Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. They will keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. To reheat, simply thaw them at room temperature, then place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5-10 minutes.

Can I use whole wheat flour instead of self-raising flour?

You can use whole wheat flour, but you will need to add baking powder to the recipe to make the scones rise. For every cup of whole wheat flour, add 1 1/2 tsp of baking powder.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your butter is cold when you start making this recipe, as it will make it easier to cut into the flour mixture.
  • Don't overwork the dough when kneading it, as this can make the scones tough.
  • For a sweeter scone, you can add some dried fruit or chocolate chips to the dough before shaping it.
