Why are my fruit scones dry and crumbly? Dry and crumbly fruit scones from Bare Pantry Cafe in Galway could be due to a few reasons.Overmixing the dough can develop too much gluten, leading to a tough texture. Insufficient moisture, like not adding enough milk or cream, can also dry them out. Baking at too high a temperature can cause them to cook too quickly on the outside while remaining dry inside. Adjusting these factors, like gentler mixing and proper baking temperature, should help achieve softer, more enjoyable scones. How do I get my fruit scones to rise? To get those delightful fruit scones to rise beautifully, follow a few key steps. Handle the dough with care to preserve the air bubbles that form and contribute to the scones\' fluffiness. Use fresh baking powder to ensure it activates properly and leavens the dough effectively. Baking them in a preheated oven at the right temperature helps them rise evenly and develop a golden crust without drying out. What to avoid when making scones? When whipping up a batch of scones, there are a few pitfalls to avoid to ensure they turn out perfectly. Don\'t overmix the dough, as this can lead to tough, dense scones. Always sift dry ingredients like flour and baking powder to ensure even distribution and aeration. Avoid baking them at too high a temperature, which can cause them to brown too quickly on the outside while remaining undercooked inside. How long do fruit scones keep?
