1. 1
   Sift flour, salt, baking powder and sugar. Mix thoroughly with knife, then gradually pour in milk while you stir until all are combined.

   Makes a wet dough. Sift plenty of flour on a board. Turn the dough out in the center of floured patch using a knife to scrape it all out. Sift more flour on top of dough and pat out until it is 1/2-inch thick.
3. 3
   Cut into 12 or 15 pieces any shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Be sure oven is 275°.
4. 4
   Bake at least 35 minutes.

   They must be baked slowly in order that dough raises before a crust is formed. When touched on top and they spring back, they are done. Scones should be white, even when they are done.
