Scones are pretty much similar to American biscuits. In our desi version, consider them like a very flaky, buttery, slightly sweet tea time snack. Scones have this amazingly moist and soft inside with the crumbly, buttery, flaky outside. These are served with butter, jam, and cream.

Using this base master recipe and tossing it with your favorite add-ons is the way to adapt this post. It is quite an easy recipe, however, there are a few points, I would like to share with you.
The butter has to be chilled before you add it to the dry ingredients. Use your hands to rub the butter into the flour, so it gets crumbly. But don’t over-do the dough-making process. You just have to combine it all together. Roll out and shape and bake.
Over. Mixing the dough will result in denser and tougher scones. Remember, you don’t want to over-work scone dough.
Use full-fat milk to make delicious scones. Make sure that the milk is chilled too. The key is to keep the dough cold.
