Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Either grease or line baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with pastry cutter until you get coarse crumbs.
- Mix eggs and milk then add to dry mixture, slowly stirring in until moistened.
- Turn on to a lightly floured surface and briefly knead. Roll out dough and using cookie cutters, cut out (I honestly break it apart and slightly shape them into what barely passes as a circle but I like the more rustic look). Likewise, you can roll into a ½" thick round and cut into 8 wedge pizza-shaped pieces.
- Place onto tray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light brown on top.
Notes
If you are making cheese scones, you can also add some green onions and dry mustard.
