Basic Scones

Ingredients:
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate
salt, table
sugars, granulated
butter, without salt
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d

Directions:
Combine dry ingredients; cut in butter till crumbly.
Stir in whatever you like -- blueberries, cranberries, orange or lemon zest, candied ginger, chocolate chips, etc.
Add milk and stir just until moistened.
Turn out on floured board, flour hands and knead 10-15 times and pat/roll into 3/4" thick round shape.
Cut into wedges and place on baking sheet (greased or parchment).
Leave a little space in between as they poof up a bit.
Bake at 400 deg F for 18-22 minutes (15-16 is enough in my oven).
You can sprinkle with sugar before baking, or after baking can drizzle with powdered sugar glaze, etc.
Very versatile!
