How to Make Perfect Scones

I recently got a reader email asking about how to make better scones. In all honesty, I wouldn't have had a good answer for the inquirer had she asked before I met Amy Lawrence, an accomplished cookbook author with several scone cookbooks out. However, in an interview in 2010, Amy shared her tips for perfect scones, and my scone-making was completely revolutionized. No more flat, dense blobs. No more flavorless, colorless discs. And no more blind guessing on substitutions and improvisations. Just easy, delicious scones (almost) every time.

Follow Amy's tips, and your scones are likely to improve just as much as mine did.

Once you have your scone-making basics down, be sure to check out the two most popular recipes on the site (Raisin Scones and Cinnamon Scones, pictured here), or to explore the scone recipe collection.
