For extra flavor, try toasting the white chocolate before adding it to the recipe. It brings out a richer, nuttier flavor. Ensure that the shortening and milk are very cold. The cold ingredients help create a tender, flaky scone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough scone. Feel free to experiment with other fruits and flavors. Raspberries, cranberries, or lemon zest would all be delicious additions.

May 9, 2025The key is definitely not to overmix the dough. I learned that the hard way the first time, but now they turn out perfectly every time.
