Tips:

- Use cold butter: Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in your scones. Cut it into small pieces and mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

- Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to tough scones. Combine the ingredients just until they come together. It's okay if the dough looks a bit crumbly.

- Handle the dough lightly: Lightly pat the dough into shape rather than using a rolling pin. This helps keep the scones tender.

- Use fresh passionfruit: For the best flavor, use fresh passionfruit. If fresh fruit is not available, high-quality passionfruit puree can be used as a substitute.

- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for about 15-20 minutes before baking helps the scones keep their shape and enhances their texture.

- Bake at a high temperature: A hot oven (usually around 425°F/220°C) helps the scones rise quickly and develop a golden, crispy exterior.

These White Chocolate and Passionfruit Scones are truly a delightful fusion of flavors. The sweetness of the white chocolate pairs perfectly with the tartness of the passionfruit, creating a scone that is both rich and refreshing. Serve them warm with a dollop of cream or a smear of butter, and enjoy a bite of tropical paradise.
