Mobile Scones with strong flour

I have just discovered how easy it is to make simple rolls/tin loafs.

As I now have a big bag of strong white flour I am wanting to experiment a bit. Dh has put in a request for cheese scones. Can I use strong white flour, and would I need to add yeast?

I use it for sourdough cheese scones I add 2teaspoons of baking powder to 450g of flour
Other scones I use plain flour and baking powder what ever you use don’t roll the dough to thin or they wil be like ice hockey 🏒 pucks

It is possible but you need to be careful. Strong flour is high in gluten. If you work the dough to much you could get very tough scones.
Personally I would only use strong flour for bread and yeast dough products.
