Baking Tip

Ideally, you'll bake our scones right out of the freezer. 

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Pop the scones out of the freezer, onto a baking sheet and into the oven. 

Cook the regular scones for 25 to 28 minutes, the minis for 18 to 21. 

If you are baking only a few scones, the baking time will be on the shorter side. Baking a bunch, they'll take a bit longer. 

Err on the side of taking the scones out of the oven early. It may be tempting to keep the scones in the oven long enough for them to turn golden - that's too long, friend. You're looking for a golden brown on the bottom, still pale on the top. If you were to poke one, you'd feel a bit of resistance. 

Here is a picture of three perfectly cooked scones. Notice the golden brown color of the bottoms and the pale color of the top. 

 

What if your scones are no longer frozen? Say, you've taken them out to defrost already? Don't worry, all is not lost. Crank your oven to 350. The minis will be ready around 10 minutes, the regular in 15, but keep any eye on them.

Don't forget to ice the scones right up as soon as they come out of the oven. Enjoy!
