- On a floured surface gently roll one portion at a time into a ball.
- Flatten the ball until your disk is approximately 3/4″ in height.

- Dampen tops of each disk with a 1/2 tsp milk or cream and evenly sprinkle sugar on top of each circle.
- Cut each circle in quarters.
- Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown. Remove scones from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
