  6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place all rounds on it maintaining a distance of a inch. Bake in preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for about 12 minutes till scones get golden crisp surface.
  7. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter at top. Cover with a kitchen towel for 5 minutes. Serve the scones with jam or cream topping.
  8. Store the excess scones in an air tight container in the refrigerator. Just microwave for few seconds before serving.
