Notes
- Use very cold butter and cream to get tender, flaky scones.
- Don't overmix the dough—stop stirring as soon as it comes together.
- You can substitute the glaze with a lemon glaze by using lemon juice instead of milk.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze unglazed scones for up to 1 month.
