Notes

Freshly baked scones are best eaten the same day but can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap cooled scones in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat to restore their texture.
For extra flavor variations, try orange zest, salted caramel chips, or even nuts in the dough.
