Cook's Tips:

Raisins, currants, dried cherries or cranberries may be substituted for the mixed dried fruit.

For tender, flaky scones and biscuits, the butter should be cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients.

To achieve flakiness in pastry, a solid fat, such as butter, is cut into the dry ingredients. Here our Pastry Blender makes it easy to equally disperse the fat throughout the dough. 

Rolling out the dough with our Baker's Roller® not only produces more attractive scones, but also helps them to bake more evenly on the Baking Stone.
