Scones differ from biscuits in that their dense dough allows for the addition of sugar or other sweet ingredients like chocolate chips and dried fruit, making scones more suitable for these ingredients than biscuits. To maintain moist scones, consider substituting one or more liquid in your recipe (e.g. milk, buttermilk or heavy cream) with cooked mashed sweet potatoes as this may provide extra moisture retention for your dough.
When adding fruit or other extra ingredients, be mindful to only add 1 cup total to the scone batter to prevent making it too wet and leading to spread during baking. When working with fresh fruit, consider increasing the flour by 1 to 2 tablespoons to account for additional moisture from it; additionally, refrigerating for 20-30 minutes prior to baking will ensure proper results.
Toppings
Sweet scones make a delightful breakfast treat, as well as being easy and satisfying snacks, light desserts or brunch items.

To get crisp scones, cold butter should be cut into small cubes and stored in the freezer. Doing this allows it to remain firm when working with dough, while lamination (the process of folding layers of dough into place) becomes simpler if the butter remains frozen.
Make sure that when creating scone dough, you have an ample workspace with room enough for rolling pin to use its full potential when shaping the scones.
For optimal scones, set your oven at a lower temperature and bake them for less time. To help the scones retain their shape and keep them from spreading out too much while baking, lightly flour both your countertop and baking sheet before starting the recipe. For large batches of scones, refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes to firm it up before chilling before shaping; additionally it may be wise to refrigerate formed scones if space allows – this prevents too much spreading during baking!
Storage
These sweet scones can be enjoyed alone, or topped with butter or jam for an added layer of sweetness. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, teatime and after-dinner dessert with coffee – or made ahead and kept in an airtight container to be baked later! Plus you can also freeze these up to three days ahead so they’re ready to go when serving time rolls around – simply thaw at room temperature before warming back up in the oven before devouring them!
