Author: ForkToSpoon.com. Pro Tips: The key to a great and flaky scone is not to overmix the dough. Once everything is well-incorporated, stop mixing. Keep the butter cold, and then add to the mixer. The texture will be much better than using melted or room temperature butter. Grate the zucchini with a hand grater, and then you need to really place the zucchini on paper towels and drain it by pressing it hard. There is a lot of moisture in the zucchini, and removing most of it is essential to get a great Zucchini Scone.
