    Would you not just bake them and then let them cool?

    Time constraints, only have twenty mins or so in work kitchen before starting work, then fifteen minutes around 10am to make stuff for morning tea.

    Could you prep these beforehand, at say 8am, and then bung in oven at 10am? Or would the mix then fail

    I reckon you could, as long as you refrigerate the dough in between. Scones are best made with very cold ingredients, so chilling between prepping and baking should enhance that.

    Report back and let us know how it went!

    I made these again today, and I have a load of mascarpone cream and jam just waiting for them to cool :)

    I'm going to try make these this evening if i get a chance.
    Has anybody successfully converted to Gluten Free?

    I'll just try same quantities with subbing in GF flour (then maybe tweak later versions based on the results), but if somebody else has already done the trial and error it'd be great to hear.

    I’d imagine you’d need a stabilizer with gf flour, like xanthan gum. Likely to be too crumbly otherwise and may fall apart when you cut into them.

    I actually just made these myself today, for the first time in years. You just can’t beat a good scone!
