You can substitute baking powder in scones with an equal amount of baking soda combined with an acid, such as yogurt, buttermilk, or vinegar.

Adjust the recipe's other ingredients accordingly to maintain the right consistency.
How can you get scones to turn brown on top in a gas oven?
To achieve a golden-brown top on scones in a gas oven, ensure you preheat the oven adequately, typically around 400°F (200°C). Brush the tops of the scones with an egg wash, made from beaten egg mixed with a splash of milk or water, before baking. This not only enhances browning but also gives a nice sheen. Additionally, placing the scones on the middle rack ensures even heat distribution for optimal browning.

What is the function of sugar in scones?
Caster sugar is just superfine sugar. It is granulated sugar that has been ground very finely. Because of the superfine consistency the sugar will disolve better when the milk or buttemilk is added and prevent crystallization through the baking process, which can result in a gritty scone texture.
Is bicarbonate of soda essential in scones?
Bicarbonate of soda, or baking soda, is not strictly essential in scones, but it plays a crucial role in providing leavening. It reacts with acidic ingredients (like buttermilk or yogurt) to produce carbon dioxide, which helps the scones rise and achieve a light texture. If you don't have bicarbonate of soda, you can substitute it with baking powder, which contains both an acid and a base for leavening. However, the final texture and flavor might differ slightly.
