Accepting that I will never be able to perfect baking scones which are the nicest shop bought ones?

Kind of you and will give it a go but have to accept that scones is not something I seem able to master

M&S scones in their fresh bakery section are very nice.

I really like the Morrisons luxury fruit scones, they are kind of square shaped, four in a pack.

M&S from their bakery counter are the only ones which don’t taste elderly.

I've never found a nice shop bought scone. Scones need to be eaten on the day they are made to be at their best. The best scones I've eaten have been from a local farm shop or an independent sandwich shop/cafe in my county town.
Good local bakeries are your best bet.

You have to use buttermilk or sour your milk with vinegar first. Don't knead the dough too much.

The nicest ever I have had were in a cafe in Lewes, on the high street just by bus stop C.

agree with the Royal recipe but it did not mention Do not twist the cutter when cutting them out, if not a sharp down and up cut then the sides are smeared together and they struggle to rise
