Ideal scone dough is wet and somewhat sticky. If the dough is too dry, the scones won't rise and will be crumbly. On the other hand, if the scones are too wet, they won't rise either, and will be too tough and chewy once baked. Don't hesitate to tweak the amounts and proportions to get the right texture.
What is the secret to making scones rise?
Much like cinnamon rolls, arranging your scones side by side, just touching one another, helps in making the scones rise evenly, and higher. Since the heat causes the scones to rise, if they are placed side by side, the scones will be forced to rise upwards, not outwards.
What gas causes scones to rise?
The process of making scones relies on raising agents. Bicarbonate of soda is alkaline and Cream of tartar is acid so these two chemicals react when milk is used in the dough. During baking the chemicals give off carbon dioxide gas which makes the dough rise.
