Keys to scones are to work with cold, cold ingredients and to handle as little as possible. Ludwig told me to make these outdoors in the dead of an Illinois winter. I lied and told him I did, but I wasn’t about to go outside just so he could nibble on scones while drinking his coffee.
Something cozy to go with your morning coffee.
