Need help! Why are my blueberry scones always turning out dense?

[Peachy]

Every time I make blueberry scones, they end up too heavy. I’m curious if anyone else has faced this and found a solution. What tweaks have you made to get that perfect airy texture?

A couple of things that helped me were making sure not to overmix the dough and using really cold butter. I’ve also found that adding a little extra baking powder gives them a nice lift. Hope this helps, and good luck with your next batch!

One of the tricks that helped me is to avoid putting in too much flour. Instead of scooping the flour directly from the bag, I measure it by spooning it into a measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.

Maybe try chilling the dough before baking? It helps keep them light and fluffy!

Hello there! I think using cold butter is crucial for light, flaky scones. Maybe try cutting it in until it resembles coarse crumbs though.
