Notes

Keep the Butter Cold: When incorporating the cold butter into the dry ingredients, it's crucial to ensure it remains cold throughout the process. Cold butter helps create those coveted flaky layers in the scones.

Measure Almond Flour Precisely: Almond flour can be tricky to measure accurately due to its fine texture. For consistent results, use the spoon-and-level method when measuring almond flour.
