The key to making perfect scones every time is to how you combine the wet and dry ingredients. This must be done so that the dry ingredients get wet but do not form into clumps any larger than peas.
As shown in my video instructions, this is done by adding a thin line of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and thoroughly mixing it in before adding another line. A squeeze bottle like the ones chefs use for sauces is the perfect solution.
The narrow tip allows you to add just enough liquid in a thin line to wet the ingredients as you mix it in without making clumps. Squeeze bottles are available in specialty cooking stores, restaurant supply stores that are open to the public, and online. Here is 2-pack of Squeeze Bottles on Amazon [affiliate link*].
