For best results, ensure all ingredients are cold, especially the butter and buttermilk. This helps create a flakier scone. Do not overmix the dough; overmixing will result in tough scones. For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the buttermilk. Serve warm with clotted cream and your favorite jam for a truly indulgent treat.
