FAQ’S:
How Can I Prevent the Scones From Turning Out Dry?
To keep the scones from being dry, don’t mix the dough too much. Mixing it too much can make the scones hard. Also, don’t bake them for too long.
Can I Use Frozen Blueberries Instead Of Fresh Ones?
Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. Just remember to thaw and dry them before putting them in the dough. Frozen blueberries might make the dough a bit wetter, so you might need to bake it a little longer.
Can I Use Greek Yogurt Instead Of Regular Yogurt?
Yes, thick (Greek) yogurt is okay to use. It will make the scones taste a bit tangier and make the dough thicker. If the dough is too thick, add a little milk or water to get it right.
Can I Use Whole Wheat Flour Instead Of All-Purpose Flour?
Yes, you can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, but keep in mind that the texture and flavor may be slightly different.
