- Tips: It is important that you do not knead the mixture because you will not get the ideal texture of the scones (which are somewhat fluffy). Instead of using yolk to paint the scones you can do it with milk or melted butter. If you wish (once you have practiced the traditional or basic recipe) you can also innovate in the filling: raisins, polished fruits, chocolate chips, walnuts or chopped almonds, etc. So that the scones do not “bend” when they are cooking, you can cover them with parchment paper after painting them with egg and remove after 5 minutes of cooking.
