Storage
Not sure how long do scones last? If you have any of your fresh scones, I recommend storing in the fridge. It will help preserve the fruit longer.
But, you can store the scones on the counter as well. They will last 1-2 days on counter or 3-5 days in the fridge.
Expert Tips and Variations To Recipe
- Make sure to use COLD butter, this is key when making scone dough!
- Not sure how to cut scones? Form the dough into a circle then with the knife create cuts like a pie.
- Try to resist using your hands when working with the dough except to shape. That will melt the cold butter and you want to try to avoid that.
- Make sure to not over-bake the scones, as that will dry them out.
- Feel free to swap the peaches with other fruit.
