Your mixing bowl is one of the most essential pieces of equipment for making perfect scones. It has to be large enough to mix and combine all of the ingredients. A wide base and enough room to cut in the butter and incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients so that they are wet but not clumpy is a must.

I use a 5-quart metal bowl. You’ve probably seen them in the kitchens of restaurants and pizza shops you visit.

You can find them at specialty cooking stores, restaurant supply stores that are open to the public, online, or on Amazon [affiliate link*].
