When you make scones do you use half the amount of fat to flour?

When making scones, a common ratio is to use about one part fat to two parts flour, which means you typically use less fat than flour. For example, if you have 2 cups of flour, you would use about 1/2 cup of fat (like butter). This ratio helps achieve a tender texture while maintaining the right balance for rising. However, variations exist depending on specific recipes and desired richness.
