You shouldn't roll it out at all! :eek: It needs delicate patting into shape or it sulks and won't behave :rotfl:

Take your ball of dough, shape into a fat sausage and then cut into thick slices - no rolling it out at all!

When brushing the tops with egg or milk don't let it run down the sides, this also stops them rising. I also think using buttermilk gives a much lighter scone.

Sour milk or milk with a drop of lemon juice added will give a good result too.

My grandmother always used sour milk for her scones. They were delicious.

I haven't made scones in ages - I might do some tomorrow - the only trouble is that I can never stop at one or two or.......
