Hi Jeff, I can imagine you making these. I think the key to getting them to rise upright which gives you the ability to break them in two is don’t work the dough and using a clean cut. I whizz mine in the processor, bring the dough together, make a round and lightly roll. Then use a cutter but only press down, don’t twist to make the cut, then gently push the scone out of the cutter. Give it a go and see if it works!
