For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can make your own by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 3 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. To ensure even baking, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. These scones are best served warm on the day they are made. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
