here you go lorrie - scones

[chuck_artemis]

3 cups flour
9 oz cold butter
2 tb baking powder
2 tsp salt
1/2 cups of sugar
bang all this up with the paddle attachment a la the biscuit method then add
2/3 cups of half and half
2 eggs
let it all come together for a minute or so. depending on the size of your eggs and the humidity, it should be middlin' wet.
give it a quick knead to make it a cohesive mass, divide it into halves, pat them into rounds (approx. 5-6 inches in dia)
bake at 400F (convection) for 12-ish minutes


if you want to add something to them that's not too wet, do it when you add the liquid. fresh fruit can make the dough a bit too gloppy.

fours?

fours - if you make 8, they are pretty big. nf you divide the dough into 3s, then make 12 quarters, i found the diet-concious liked them. seattloids are funny like that.
