my question is....do these have to be baked right away? I am having easter breakfast a half hour away and am wanting these hot out of the oven. Could I prepare them up to the point of just being cut, wrap them in foil for a half an hour and then put them in the oven at location 2? Or can they be refrigerated until chilled and the transported? I dont want to freeze them unless I have to. Actually, scones can benefit from some chill time after mixing and shaping, just as pie dough does. It gives the fats a chance to firm up again and can give you a nice, slightly flaky result. So mix and shape away, and freeze or chill the scones on their baking pan before you do the drive. Pop them in when you get there, and you'll have a fabulous breakfast. Susan
