EN: In British baking culture, making scones is a traditional art. The golden rule of scone-making is to handle the dough as little as possible. Overworking the dough develops gluten, which makes the scones heavy and bread-like instead of light and flaky.
EN: The sentence starts with a verb ('Use') to give a direct instruction or command. This is called an imperative sentence. We use 'to + verb' (infinitive) to show the purpose or reason for doing the action.
