No to both Jo, but I thank you for those links.

DH has decided that my scones (even though they haven't risen) are the best thing since sliced bread!

He's even eating them cold since my microwave died last week and we haven't replaced it yet.

Hello there

A couple of little things I do (sorry if you're already doing this!):

1. The oven must be up to temperature when they go in
2. Aside from rubbing in the butter, mix them as little as possible
3. Knead them as little as possible
4. Try gently using the palm of your hand rather than a rolling pin to flatten the dough
5. Cut them thicker
6. Get them into the oven as quickly as possible from the time the liquids hit the flour

No matter what scones look like, they always taste so good!!

plus...

the temperature of the oven has a lot to do with it too.
My old recipe calls for "very hot" oven. The less heavy kneading the better and I always found that the closer the actual raw cut scones are placed on the tray going into the oven, the higher they rise.

great tips from Miss Positive. thanks.

I made another batch of the cheese and onion ones yesterday using all the tips I received here, and they rose!!!

I think I must have been kneading them too much.

Thank you everyone for your help.
