Scones are best eaten when they're still fresh but sometimes there are a few left that are a bit hard and stale. Here is how to rescue them.
Steps
-
Place the scones into a saucepan that has a lid. Put the lid on top.
-
Put the saucepan on low heat. Warm for five minutes. Keep an eye on them, as you don't want the bottoms to burn.Advertisement
-
Switch off the heat. Leave the saucepan with scones sitting on the cooling element for another five minutes.
-
Remove the scones. They should now be fresher and ready to be eaten straight away.
