Scones

Directions

1. 1
   Heat oven to 400°.
2. 2
   Mix flour, baking powder and sugar and cut in butter as if making pie dough.
3. 3
   (I use my food processor.) Beat egg into half and half or milk and add to flour mixture.
4. 4
   Mix barely long enough to moisten flour.
5. 5
   Gently press into a 9-inch circle or 8 to 9-inch round cake pan and cut into 10 to 12 pie-shaped wedges for a traditional scone.
6. 6
   Freeze dough until needed.
7. 7
   Frozen dough bakes better.
