Notes

*If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can also use a food processor. Blend until it resembles course crumbs. Be sure to transfer your mixture back into a large bowl or you may overwork the mixture.

The secret to a great scone is to keep your cold ingredients cold. Cold butter and cold half and half.

When measuring flour, scoop TBS into a measuring cup and level using a butter knife. Dipping the measuring cup directly into the flour bag and pushing it against the side will cause you to use more flour than intended.
