Freeze your butter, and then grate it into the rest of the ingredients for the best scones with the flakiest, most tender texture.
There is no singular way to make a scone. Some prefer the dense, crumbly scones slathered with clotted cream popular in the United Kingdom. Others want a flaky mound that, if you weren’t wearing your glasses, might be mistaken for a buttermilk biscuit . Personally, I want a lofty, tender wedge that’s jam-packed with fruit, like in this blueberry scone recipe. And there’s no better way to achieve that kind of height and texture on a scone than using frozen, grated butter.
“You want lots of pockets of butter in your scone dough—when the dough hits the hot oven, the water in the butter turns to steam, and it raises the dough just a little bit. This is what makes the dough flaky.” Although Chang cuts cubed butter into the dry mix with a stand mixer at Flour, she says that, with the grating method, “you ensure that some butter stays in small pieces, for the steam and puff; and some butter starts to soften and mix into the dough, for tenderness.
