FAQ
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh ones?
Yes, frozen strawberries work well for scones. Just make sure to thaw them first. It’s important to drain any extra water. This helps keep the scone’s texture just right.
Can I substitute the all-purpose flour with another type of flour?
You can try different flours for scones. Whole wheat gives a nutty taste and denser texture. Pastry flour makes scones soft and delicate. Just remember, changing flours might need tweaks to other ingredients or baking time.
Can I make the dough ahead of time and bake it later?
Absolutely, you can prepare the dough early and chill it. Roll it into a disc, wrap well, and it stays good in the fridge for a day. When baking, it might need a little extra time in the oven.
How do I store the leftover scones?
For any scones left (which might be unlikely!), keep them in an airtight box at room temperature. They last two days. Warm them up in the oven to refresh. Or freeze them to enjoy later. Thaw and reheat in the oven whenever you like.
