Baker's scone recipe includes one ingredient that makes them 'far better'

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

While scone recipes can be tricky to perfect, Danielle Ellis, a French-trained baker and the voice behind Severn Bites, claims that with the right ingredients, they will turn out "perfect".

She said: "There are so many scone recipes out there, and I hesitate to say that mine is the best." "But it's one that I've tried and tested and it always comes out well.

Just bear in mind my tips to make the best scones you have ever made." One crucial tip Danielle offers is to use buttermilk, saying: "The ingredient to seek out is buttermilk.

Once I started making scones with buttermilk, they got far better." She notes that buttermilk is readily available at farmers' markets and most supermarkets, and has a long shelf life.
