Editorial Notes
The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

- If using active dry yeast, make sure to dissolve it in warm water before adding to the recipe.
- If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and soda.
- Substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil. This will provide a more flavorful and aromatic scent to the scones and will also give them a slightly nutty taste. Coconut oil is also healthier than vegetable oil, as it is higher in saturated fats and contains medium-chain fatty acids which are easier to digest.
- Substitute almond milk for the buttermilk. Almond milk is a great vegan alternative to dairy and will still provide a creamy texture to the scones. It is also lower in calories and fat than buttermilk, making it a healthier option.
