We get asked about our scones all the time—and full disclosure, I’d actually never made one before opening Butter&Bean! I definitely wouldn’t call myself a master scone maker, but after so many lovely comments asking how we get ours so light and fluffy, I must be doing something right.

So here are my top tips for scone success:

1. Keep it simple: Stick to a classic recipe (baking powder/bicarb really isn’t needed).
2. Mind your temperatures: Use softened (not melted) butter, but keep your fruit cold!
3. Adjust the wet ingredients: If your fruit scones aren’t rising, try slightly reducing the liquid.
4. Hands off: Scone dough isn’t bread—don’t over-knead it. Stop as soon as the mixture just comes together.
5. Flour your tray- personally I prefer flour to oil
6. Light wash: Go easy on the egg/milk wash for the top. Less is definitely more!

Our September flavour of the month is definitely our most wholesome flavour so far- apples picked from the tree in my garden, a homemade blackberry jam centre (courtesy of my mum), smooth buttercream topped with crumble and a blackberry 😋

We are passionate about quality ingredients and zero additives but this one feels like a whole new level, even for us!
