๐ Use fresh strawberries for the best texture – frozen ones can make the dough too wet and affect the flaky layers
๐ง Keep all ingredients cold, especially the butter and cream, to ensure tender, flaky scones that rise properly
โฐ Let the scones cool uncovered for a crunchy exterior crust that contrasts beautifully with the soft interior
