For best results, use very cold butter and buttermilk. This helps to create a light and flaky scone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will develop the gluten and result in tough scones. Feel free to experiment with other berries or herbs. Blueberries and lemon zest would be a delicious alternative. Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. For a richer flavor, brush the scones with melted butter instead of buttermilk before baking.
