Tips:
U can get your scones to rise higher. The trick is minimal handling. Just before the dough begins to form, turn it out to a floured surface, the dough should still be floury and not fully combined. Pat lightly to form a rectangle and make 3 folds with a scraper by lifting the sides to the centre. Rotate 90° and repeat (pat down and fold). The dough will come together and the butter will layer on top of each other nicely. Repeat pat and fold 3 times then roll out and cut out your scones.
I swear by this technique. Gives me mile high scones everytime.
