I love fresh scones in the morning. If I make the scone dough and refrigerate it overnight and then bake them fresh in the morning, would that be okay? Would chilling the scone dough affect or change anything?

Make a small amount and try it..............................
If you use baking powder and mix them up the night before, the buttermilk/liquid will start the leavening prematurely, and they would be pretty flat. You might be able to set them by baking for half the time the night before then complete the baking in the morning. Personally, I mix up all the dry ingredients and butter the night before. Then in the morning, I turn on the oven, add the buttermilk, roll/pat out, cut and they are ready to bake before the oven has had time to heat. Three minutes tops.
Raj, great idea! Never thought of that. Thanks!
