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.

EN: Baking powder is a key leavening agent in Western baking, especially for scones. Unlike yeast, it reacts quickly with liquid and heat to make cakes and quick breads rise. Because it loses its strength over time, bakers always emphasize checking its expiration date.

Bahasa Melayu: Kata sifat perbandingan (berakhiran "-er") digunakan untuk membandingkan dua perkara. "Wet" (basah) menjadi "wetter" (lebih basah, kerana vokal pendek maka huruf t digandakan), dan "light" (ringan) menjadi "lighter" (lebih ringan).
