For the best results, ensure the butter is very cold before cutting it into the flour mixture. This will create a flakier scone. Don't overmix the dough! Overmixing will develop the gluten, resulting in tough scones. Mix just until the dough comes together. The glaze can be adjusted to your preference. Add more lemon juice for a tangier glaze or more confectioners' sugar for a sweeter glaze. These scones are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
