Scotch Scones

The dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, and butter) can be mixed and refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days. When ready to bake, bring the mixture to room temperature for 10 minutes, then add the milk and proceed with the recipe. Do not prepare the complete dough ahead, as the leavening will be lost.

Store cooled scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze unbaked cut scones on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month. Bake frozen scones directly from freezer, adding 5-7 minutes to baking time. Reheat baked scones in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
