  12. Pour the dough onto a very lightly floured work surface or a silicone mat and knead gently to form the dough into a smooth ball. Try not to work in a lot of extra flour or over-knead.

  18. Bake at 425 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Scones will be lightly browned on top.
  19. Our kids love these warm from the oven with nothing on them. I like them warm, but enjoy some toppings, too. Split and serve the scones with the toppings of your choice. I used cream cheese and hot pepper jelly and then butter and honey. So delish!
