For best results, use very cold butter and shortening. This will help create a flakier scone. Do not overmix the dough! Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tough scones. Stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened. Feel free to add a lemon glaze for extra flavor. Simply whisk together powdered sugar with lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency, and drizzle over the cooled scones. You can substitute the buttermilk with regular milk mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle before using. You can freeze the unbaked scone wedges. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
