My Granny always said cold hands, and not too much rubbing and mixing to keep the air in the mix. Her words, light hands

I was told lemonade would help make them fluffy?

My grabs sister had a great recipe that used icing sugar instead of sugar made a lovely light fluffy scone.

Yes perhaps try using buttermilk instead of ordinary milk!

Don’t over work them and keep the mixture cold as possible

Work the mixture as little as possible and they will be much lighter!

Only just combine them overworking them will make them tough.

Lead to believe that the only liquid to use is flat lemonade…never tried it myself (never have flat lemonade in the fridge could be a reason why!).

These tips are all great.
I havent had a chance to give the scones ago. Hopefully over the next couple of weeks I can give them a try.

don’t put too much hand warmth in the scone mix when you are rubbing the flour and butter, and also, do not mix, but use a knife to fold the ingredients – good luck

wow! who knew there were so many ways to make a scone!

moms have given great advice as usual.
also this article may help.

You may be over kneading them. Try not to keep kneading any longer than you need.

My dad made the best scones ever and he used to rub the butter into the flour like a builder would. His scones were as high as 2 scones on top of each other and as light as a feather. I was at high school at the time and my cookery teacher said it was impossible to make scones that way and for them to turn out well. I took some to show her the next week and she nearly fell over! I think the biggest tip is make them quickly and use minimal handling . All these tips are marvellous. I must give the soda water a try!

I am so glad i posted this question, Thanks for everyones great advice!
I hope with all these little techniques i can master it!

I was taught the less you touch them the better, the higher they rise, minimal contact. Works for me.

As little needing as possible, soda water if you don’t want to use lemonade, and I add a little drop of vanilla essence for something extra.

Try using buttermilk instead of ordinary milk, mine always turn out beautifully fluffy.

Love the ideas that have been posted I use the lemonade scones and they tend to work from me

My grandmother never used a recipe and also mixed with a knife and hers were perfect every time – really wish she had a recipe though now as she is not around and I cant get mine to work the same way
