Hi @Romla, I definitely don’t profess to be an expert but irrelevant of which recipe you use my mum (who was a fabulous cook) always made great fluffy, high rising scones. Her secrets, bring the dough together but make sure not to over work it or they won’t rise as well or be as fluffy. Next, when mixing the liquid into the crumbly mixture use a knife, not sure why but her mother taught her this step and it always seemed to work. My own step, I don’t use anything fancy like lemonade or buttermilk, just plain simple water but I make sure it’s ice cold. I live in the tropics and find this makes a lighter scone??? Final hint my mum gave me was to place the scones as close to each other, they need to be touching on the baking tray and lightly brushed with milk. So many recipes these days don’t have the old fashioned hints with them that our mums passed on from their mums. Don’t know if any of this will help but wish you the best of luck. We’ll wait for photos of your success. :) Sophie
