For an extra touch of flavor, brush the tops of the scones with a little milk or cream before baking, and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing develops the gluten, resulting in tough scones. For best results, use very cold butter. You can even freeze the butter for 15 minutes before using it. Enjoy these scones warm, ideally within a few hours of baking.
