    Why you will love this recipe

    This is the first scone I ever made to serve in my tearoom years ago. They are so easy to make. You can even make them in a scone pan to have them consistent in size.

    Serve with some clotted cream or a little jam. You can serve them warm right out of the oven and the bits of cinnamon inside give it the perfect amount of flavor.

    They can be made ahead of time and warmed up, or make the dough and freeze to bake at a later time.

    Place on a baking sheet and bake for approximately 11-14 minutes. Just until slightly golden.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Are Scones hard to make?

    They are not hard at all to make. The key is not to overwork the dough and not to overbake. You want chunks of butter in the scone versus melted into it. Kind of like pie dough.

    How do you keep your baked scones fresh after baking?

    The best way is to place it in a ziplock bag and keep refrigerated for up to a week. You can also freeze after baking and take them out one at a time and warm on the counter or microwave in 10-second intervals.

    How does a scone pan work?

    The scone pan keeps all scones uniform in size and is easy to work with when first starting out. You can just fill up each slot about halfway and they bake beautifully.
