Chef's Tips

For the flakiest scones, use very cold ingredients and avoid overmixing the dough.

If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use your fingertips to cut in the butter. Work quickly to keep the butter cold.

Feel free to experiment with different varieties of Jersey apples or cheddar cheeses.

Serve warm with butter or a dollop of cream cheese.
