comment Should scones dough be sticky?
Can happen - I regularly add an extra ounce of flour to the 5oz stated in my pizza dough recipe.

Quite thick. I just feel it gets lost when you put it in the middle. As long as you don't put the cheese in the middle though, the exact order isn't important I think.

+1 for flour - it varies by brand and even batch.

comment What ingredient adds the sweetness on Croissants in Europe?
It could be an apricot glaze: apricot conserve/jam watered down and brushed on top. That gives a slightly tangy, sweet finish.

No problem. FYI, I bake the lasagne with a foil lid for 40 minutes, then take the foil off for the final 20 so the cheese can crisp and turn golden.
