Enhancements and Storage Tips

Want to change up your pistachio scones? Try using different nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts. Make sure they’re finely chopped for a good mix in the dough. This lets you enjoy new nutty flavours while keeping the scones light and fluffy.

Storing your scones right keeps them soft and tasty. Put them in an airtight container or a resealable bag. For longer keeping, wrap each scone before freezing. This way, you can enjoy a scone anytime you like.

Don’t have fresh orange zest? No problem! Use orange extract as a substitute. Just pick the right amount for your taste. Both fresh zest and extract will give your scones a lovely orange kick. They’re perfect with your favourite warm drink.
