Why do my cheese scones go 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 soda is fresh.
Why did my cheese scones not rise?
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 I use plain flour instead of self-raising?
Yes and no. If the recipe calls for plain flour with the addition of baking powder (or another leavening agent), self-raising flour can be used instead, simply omit the leavening agent. If the recipe does not include baking powder or a leavening agent, do not substitute plain flour with self-raising flour.
Why are my cheese scones GREY in the middle?
