Tips & Tricks (5)
- Butter Temperature is Key 🧈Use VERY cold butter and grate it using a box grater for the flakiest, most tender scones possible - this creates perfect butter pockets during baking.
- Pudding Mix Magic 🎂The instant vanilla pudding mix is your secret weapon for extra moisture and intense birthday cake flavor - don't skip this ingredient!
- Minimal Mixing Technique 🥣Mix the dough just until it comes together to prevent tough scones - overworking develops gluten and creates dense, chewy results.
- Sprinkle Strategy 🌈Add sprinkles both in the dough and on top for maximum birthday cake visual appeal - fold them gently to prevent color bleeding.
- Freezing for Perfection ❄️Chill the shaped scones for 15-20 minutes before baking to help them maintain their shape and create a more pronounced rise.
