Working quickly, blend ingredients together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon into a soft crumbly dough. | 18. (do not over-mix or scones will be tough). | 19. (Once again, if using the food processor pulse till just combined). | 20. Turn dough onto your cold, floured, work board. | 21. Dough will be a crumbly mess, work it gently, turning no-more than four times, and lightly press it into a rectangle (5x10x1/2” thick). | 22. Cut rectangle in half into two 5x5’s, then each half into two 2 ½ x 5’s forming four quarters. | 23. Cut each quarter diagonally and place wedges 1 inch apart on a light colored non-stick baking sheet. | 24. Bake until scones are lightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. | 25.
