If you want to enjoy fresh-baked scones for days to come, there's a simple trick that will keep them tasting just like they came out of the oven. Store them in an airtight container with a paper towel. The paper towel absorbs any moisture from the scones, keeping them fresh and preventing them from getting soft or stale. Because the paper towel prevents the scones from coming into direct contact with the air, they'll stay just as crumbly and delicious as they were the day they were baked.
