Great question, Ang. It sounds like your scones turned out to be utterly perfect once they were baked. While adding more flour next time may make it easier to scoop the dough, it'll make the scones heavier and drier. Here's the solution: Mix up the scone dough/batter in a big bowl (our dough whisk is a great option for bringing the dough together) and then cover it with a bowl cover or plastic wrap and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. During this rest, the flour will hydrate and absorb some of the liquid, making it easier to handle. When you take it out of the fridge, it should be less sticky and easier to scoop. And most importantly, the baked scones should still be perfect! Kye@KAF
