I can't make them rise!

Scones. I remember making perfect scones with my Nan. Now I just get flat miserable looking things come out the oven. They taste great just impossible to slice in half.

Any tips?

Do you leave the dough to stand? That could be why they aren't rising. Also the recipe.

You could be knocking the air out of them by overworking the dough

Dough too dry? Make sure your measurements are correct and your oven is pre-heated properly

What type of flour are you using and how thick are you rolling the dough?

Use a good grade flour too. I noticed the cheap flour doesn't work as well in any recipes

Don't leave it to stand, it's best to make them just before you're ready to bake. Made some with the following recipe at the weekend which worked well:

400g (14 oz) plain flour

100g (3 3/4 oz) caster sugar

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp bicarb of soda

3/4 tsp salt

175g (6 oz) soft butter

250ml (8 fl oz) buttermilk

That is very true the quality of the flour is vital.

The next batch will be delicious!

- Yep, good flour is always good. If it's been hanging around a bit, try adding a bit of baking powder - but I usually ditch it in favour a=of a new bag
