Scones by Phyllis Barnard


Preheat oven to 450F.

2 cups sifted flour
4 tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp butter
¾ cup milk (OR 1 egg plus milk to make ¾ cup)

Mix the first 4 dry ingredients.
Add butter and using Manual Food Processor or fork, mix till consistency of breadcrumbs.
Add milk mixture and cut the fluid into dry ingredients just until everything is wet. Don’t overdo it. You want to work the dough as little as possible.
Throw dough on pastry mat sprinkled with flour using Flour Sugar Shaker.  Pat lightly till dough is ¾ inch thick. Cut with a cookie cutter or slice in triangles with a knife. Place on stoneware piece (round, rectangle or bar pan) and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until light golden brown on top.
