VariationsFor circular shaped scones, roll dough into a 16-inch log and cut scones into 1-inch-thick pieces. Place on prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Press down lightly to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick before baking. Add other flavors — cinnamon or extracts. Try adding 1 teaspoon of almond or vanilla extract. |
