How do I get Scones to rise and be fluffy?

  • Use good quality ingredients.
  • First, make sure you’re using fresh baking powder, one that has been opened less than 6 months ago.
  • Don’t soften your butter as cold butter makes scones rise higher.
  • If it’s hot in your kitchen, freeze your butter before making scones.
  • Measure your flour, DO NOT scoop it with the cup as this will cause that you pack the flour into the cup and you’ll end up with too much flour.
  • Cut your butter into cubes.
  • Also, if you knead the dough too much, the scones won’t rise as tall.
  • Knead gently, and just enough to bring the dough together, so mix gently, do not over mix.  Avoid over-mixing the dough. Too much stirring will toughen your scones.
  • Adding more flour also prevents the dough from rising as high, so only dust lightly.
  • Keep the scones as cold as possible until they are ready to go into the oven. This will make them rise better.
  • Make sure your oven is fully preheated before baking the scones.

The most accurate way of measuring flour would be to weigh the flour on a kitchen scale.

  • One cup of white flour weighs 125 grams.
  • One cup of whole wheat flour weighs 140 grams.
  • One cup of bread flour weighs 130 grams.
  • One cup of cake flour weighs 114 grams.

  4. I also love scones! My grandmother used to make them perfectly! I have, however, almost given up on cakes, biscuits and other baked goods, in the name of good health. I might make an exception for a tasty batch of scones though! Thanks for this recipe, it looks great!
