I love the ones served in Red Lobster, they call them biscuits but to us they are cheese scones, I bought 4 packet mixes of Red Lobster biscuits from Walmart, they are simply the best.

That’s the recipe I use and the only one that has ever worked and believe me I have tried lots!

I use this recipe - if I can’t be bothered making sour milk, I just use buttermilk.

Flat ! None of the recipes I saw mentioned eggs.. did 2 lots with different recipes .first lot rose a bit. 2nd lot didn't rise much( put some baking soda in it). Tasted ok though.. I'll try the recipes mentioned tomorrow and will let you all know how " the great British scone off " is coming along...oh and their not as soft inside as most scones are.. appreciate any more tips!

[soooexcited!]

Don't handle the mixture much. Bring it together pat it into a shape and cut your scones out. The more you handle or flatten it the less they will rise.
