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
-
1Place the scones into a saucepan that has a lid. Put the lid on top.
-
2Put the saucepan on low heat. Warm for five minutes. Keep an eye on them, as you don't want the bottoms to burn.Advertisement

3Switch off the heat. Leave the saucepan with scones sitting on the cooling element for another five minutes.
-
4Remove the scones. They should now be fresher and ready to be eaten straight away.
