Wow, you're really fast. I have bought Kevin Chai's later bakery book and it has been siting on the bookshelf for two months. I think I must start trying out. May I know where you bought the oval and rectangle tart mould?

220C for 15 minutes before baking. But I did not preheat it that long, maybe around a few minutes only. As a result, the scones did not rise. May I know if scones are not supposed to rise or I did not preheat the oven well enough? I think scones need to be baked at a high temperature right?
Thanks aunty.

Scones need to rise. 200C to 220C is a good temperature for baking scones. Do not overneed your scones otherwise it will not rise and it becomes hard. It should soft and sticky. Dust flour onto table top, throw your scones onto the flour, sprinkle flour on top and roll it or pat it flat with your palms and then use a cutter to cut it out. Lift it onto the baking tray and bake. You can brush with some milk before baking.
