The most common variations include plain or "cream" scones, which are often served with clotted cream and jam, and fruit scones, which are studded with dried fruits such as currants or raisins. Other variations can include cheese scones, chocolate chip scones, or savory options like bacon and cheddar scones.Scones are often enjoyed as part of afternoon tea or served as a breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup Rama (or margarine), cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 cup dried fruits, chocolate chips, or nuts for added flavor

- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Notes
When cooking Rama scones, here are three important things to note:
1. Cold Ingredients: It is crucial to use cold butter, Rama, and buttermilk in this recipe. The cold fats will help create a flaky texture in the scones. Make sure to cube the butter and Rama and refrigerate them before incorporating them into the dough.
2. Gentle Mixing: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, it's important to mix the dough gently. Overmixing can result in tough scones. Mix just until the dough comes together, being careful not to overwork it.
3. Proper Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the scones while they are baking. Overbaking can dry out the scones, while underbaking may leave them doughy in the center. Follow the recommended baking time in the recipe, but adjust as needed based on your oven's behavior and the desired level of golden brownness.
By paying attention to these key factors, you'll have a better chance of achieving scrumptious Rama scones with a light, flaky texture and a delightful taste. Enjoy your baking adventure!
