For best results, use very cold butter and buttermilk. The cold ingredients help create a flaky texture. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough scones. Feel free to experiment with different dried fruits, nuts, and spices. Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven or microwave before serving.
