Why are my scones always flat?

Accidentally using all-purpose (plain) flour in place of self-rising (self-raising) flour or not adding the rising agent to plain flour can cause flat scones. Make sure that your ingredients are fresh. This includes things like yeast, baking soda, and baking powder. ... If the mixture fizzes, the baking powder is fresh.

Why don't my scones rise enough?

Placing a dough in a cool oven that then slowly heats up actually affects the rising agent. Make sure your oven is at the right temperature you will be baking the scones at before you put them in. Also having an oven that is too hot or too cold will affect the baking of your scones immensely.

Can scones be cooked from frozen?

Freeze the scones on the sheet until they are solid, then transfer them to resealable bags or airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake the scones direct from frozen, as directed in the recipe, but allow an extra 2-3 minutes baking time.

Can I refreeze scones?

Fully baked - just thaw and serve. Defrost the scones in the bag at room temperature for about 1-2 hours. Tip: The scones can be heated before serving. Deep-frozen, do not refreeze after defrosting.

What to do if you leave your freezer door open overnight?

All of the food in your freezer is fine to cook or refreeze as long as ice crystals are still present. If your meat hasn't reached more than 40°F, it is still safe to cook and eat.
