For best results, use cold buttermilk and avoid overmixing the dough to ensure a tender crumb.
Add 1/2 cup of your favorite mix-ins, such as dried cranberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, or grated cheddar cheese, for a customized twist.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little melted butter or cream before baking for a golden-brown crust.
Scones are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
