Grandma's Scones
My grandmother taught me that the trick to fluffy scones / biscuits was to sour the milk by adding a little vinegar. Like her I don't always follow a recipe to the T but this is one I found written and stored in my recipe box. Pie crust will also turn out better if vinegar is added to water especially if you like us have what is called hard water.
