hi
gas mark 4 is about electric 180 , but i've always baked my scones at 220 so that they rise.....cook 'em at 220 for about 5 or 6 mins, then turn oven down to about 180/200 for 5mins xx

Thanks mandy_moo I will try that

Title says it all really - whenever I make scones they turn out lightg and fluffy but don't seem to rise very much. Are they supposed to or am I just supposed to roll the dough thicker?

Hi Nikkisun,

With scones it's best to handle the mix as little as possible. It may be that you aren't rolling out the dough thickly enough. The scones need to be about 2 -2 1/2 inches deep before going into the oven to make them light and fluffy. When cutting them make sure that you don't twist the cutter, but just rest it on top of the mix and push down with the palm of your hand.

There's an earlier thread with more suggestions so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.

Thanks - the recipe said to roll out 1-2cm so obviously too thin!
