For extra flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of dried fruit, chocolate chips, or a tablespoon of citrus zest to the dry ingredients. For a golden brown top, brush the scones with a little extra milk or beaten egg before baking. Serve with clotted cream and jam for a traditional treat or enjoy with butter and honey. Scones are best enjoyed fresh. However, they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for the best taste and texture.
