You don't want the butter to melt into the flour until it is baking in the oven, which makes for a flakier scone. If you start with room temperature butter then the butter melts when you are rubbing it into the flour and yields a tougher scone. <br /><br />Some scones don't use any butter at all, only cream. This recipe I am sharing today is a classic scone and uses cold butter.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-43707011161486419852023-04-04T22:59:57.038+01:002023-04-04T22:59:57.038+01:00Some recipes of English scones call for room tempe...Some recipes of English scones call for room temperature butter instead of cold?

Also used Wilkin and Sons strawberry preserves and I’ve never had anything better I don’t think. The cream tasted like a mix between butter, whipped cream and almost like a fresh caramel for some reason. My scones didn’t rise as tall as yours did, but still had the natural “split” in the middle and rose high enough for me. They were so rich with the cream that I was only able to eat the two halves with cream and jam.
