Step

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 10 to 12 minutes.
For an extra touch of elegance, brush the tops of the scones with a little melted butter or cream before baking.
Feel free to experiment with different flavors of soda, such as orange or grapefruit, for a unique twist.
These scones are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
