After my neighbor tasted my dry scones...
She suggested brushing them with simple syrup before serving... now they're always moist and everyone asks for the recipe.

Brushing syrup on scones does keep them moist, but it also gives them a shiny glaze that might not be for everyone. I tried it once and ended up with scones that were almost too soft, losing that slight crumbly texture scones should have. You could mix a little lemon juice into the syrup to cut the sweetness if that's a concern. It's a good fix for dry batches, but maybe not for every time you bake them.

Guess that's why my scones could double as hockey pucks anyway.

It's funny how a quick fix like syrup can mask the real issue, just like in life when we add surface solutions. You get a moist scone but at the cost of what made it a scone in the first place.
