Bake scones
Bake scones in a 425°F oven for 18 to 23 minutes, until they're a very light golden brown. Don't over-bake; dark scones will be dry. Break one open to check for doneness: the interior shouldn't appear doughy or wet, but should feel nicely moist.
Why are my scones undercooked in the middle?
OVERCOOKED ON THE OUTSIDE, UNDERCOOKED IN THE MIDDLE
If a cake is overbrowning, then the oven temperature could be too hot, as the cake cooks from the outside in, burning the outside before the middle cooks. The best solution is to reduce the temperature.
Should scones be crunchy or soft?
Scones are supposed to be crunchy on the outside while soft and moist on the inside. They should not be dry or crumbly.
