Mini Scones

Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder

PREHEAT the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl or in a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt,
parsley, and chives. Add the butter to the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture
resembles coarse bread crumbs. Turn the crumbs into a bowl and, stirring with a fork,
gradually add enough milk to make a moist, biscuit-like dough.
On a floured surface, roll or pat the dough to a 2" thickness. Using a 1½" biscuit
cutter, cut the dough into rounds. Or, using a vegetable cutter, cut into 12 small
squares. Reroll the scraps and cut out more rounds. Place on the baking sheet and
brush with milk to glaze the tops. Bake until golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve warm.
