Learn how to bake David’s Cookies frozen scone dough for warm, bakery-style scones at home. Follow these simple steps for golden, tender scones every time.
Quick Answer
Bake David’s Cookies frozen scone dough directly from frozen at 375°F for 18-22 minutes for a golden, tender scone with a crisp exterior.
Why Frozen Dough Works Best
Baking the scones straight from frozen ensures they hold their shape and develop a crisp, golden crust. Thawing first can lead to spreading and a denser texture.
Oven Temperature Matters
A 375°F oven is the sweet spot. Too low and the scones may dry out before browning; too high and the outside browns before the center is fully baked.
Step-by-Step Baking Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the rack in the center position for even heat distribution. Check your oven temperature with an oven thermometer for accuracy.
- Arrange the Frozen Scones: Place the frozen scone dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow for expansion. Do not thaw the dough first—baking from frozen prevents spreading.
- Bake and Check for Doneness: Bake for 18-22 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The scones are done when the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking.
- Cool and Serve: Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best texture. Leftover scones can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
