coarse meal. Blend in eggs and just enough milk or
buttermilk to form soft but not sticky dough.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Gently
roll or pat dough to about 1/2-inch thickness, lightly
flouring as necessary to prevent sticking. Cut out
rounds using 2-inch flourd biscuit cutter. Set 1/2
inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Brush with
cream. Bake until scones are golden brown, 12 to 15
minutes.
