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.

Jun 11, 2025I was a bit skeptical about the orange zest, but it really elevates the flavor. These are now my go-to scones for weekend brunch.

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.
