Tips for Making Cheddar Dill Scones

These are the following tips tips for making cheddar dill scones:

• For optimal results, use cold ingredients. This will allow the scones to be light and airy.
• Do not overwork the dough as this will result in tough scones.
• If you do not own a pastry blender, two forks may suffice. Cut butter into the flour mixture using both forks.
• To prevent your scones from adhering to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper before adding your batter. This will also keep any spillover from your batter escaping onto other surfaces during baking!
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

• For a spicier scone, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the flour mixture.
