Scones are made light primarily due to the incorporation of cold fat, such as butter, which creates small pockets of air when mixed with flour. Additionally, the use of leavening agents like baking powder helps the dough rise during baking, contributing to a tender texture. Proper mixing techniques, such as avoiding overworking the dough, also ensure that the scones remain light and fluffy. Lastly, using buttermilk or yogurt can add moisture and acidity, enhancing both flavor and texture.

Can you use spread instead of butter to make scones?

The fat in scones is what makes them light and crumbly, as opposed to rock-like. You may be able to reduce the fat content slightly (if it's quite a high proportion of fat to flour, you should be able to reduce the fat by about 1/4 -1/3), but the scones will not have a pleasant texture if all of the fat is removed. If you just want to cut down the fat content, try using margarine. Margarine still results in scones with a reasonable texture, but since it contains more liquid than butter, you will probably need to reduce the amount of milk that you add when you form a dough. (Otherwise the dough is very sloppy).
