You can also add dried fruit, chocolate chips or nuts or anything else you'd like to these tender scones. I added chocolate chips to half of them and left the other half plain.

  • 8. Either cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife or cut into 8-10 small circles. Place onto prepared pan.
  • 9. To seal the surface, lightly brush with milk and sprinkle with the 1 Tablespoon reserved sugar for a nice finish.
  • 10. Bake 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
  • 11. Serve warm either plain or with butter and honey or preserves; or cool on rack and store in an airtight container once cool.
