Ca...Hey kg, I'm so glad you like this recipe. <br /><br />Caster sugar is also known as super fine sugar and shouldn't make any difference to the fluffiness of your scones. I've made lots of scones in my time and had quite a few failures in the early days resulting in dry, hard and heavy scones. I learned that there are a few "golden rules" when making scones:<br /><br />1. Don't over-work the dough. You need a really light touch. Handle the dough as little as possible. The dough should just hold together and be a little sticky.<br /><br />2. Don't flatten the dough out too much before cutting the scones. This mixture should make 15 scones max. If you're getting more than that, the dough isn't thick enough. They need that thickness to stop them from over cooking; which brings me to the third and final rule.<br /><br />3. Don't over cook them. Take them out of the oven as soon as they are cooked, no longer or they'll be dry.<br /><br />I learned this through trial and error and listening to and learning from people who make terrific scones. I'm no expert, but I stick to these rules and get light, fluffy scones every time.<br /><br />Good luck and I'd love to hear how you get on if you make them again. It was great to get your feedback.Milk and Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875644940550457953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600104279112331871.post-58460905919535537972013-04-03T19:17:40.934+11:002013-04-03T19:17:40.934+11:00Hi!

However, I've tried making it twice, and I just can't seem to make mine turn out as fluffy as yours look :(<br /><br />I haven't been using caster sugar..would that be enough to make that much of a difference? or perhaps I'm compressing the dough too much as I'm putting it together? Do you have any tips?kghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976895114197512921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600104279112331871.post-10012412962667892522013-03-28T14:48:45.408+11:002013-03-28T14:48:45.408+11:00@Pretty Things.
