| 1. Preheat oven to 400; set aside a lightly greased baking stone or cookie sheet. | 2. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients; cut in butter to resemble coarse crumbs; select one or more Optional Add-In from the list above (equalling about 1 cup total); make well in the center. | 3. In a measuring cup, mix milk and eggs, pour into well in flour mixture EXCEPT -- reserve about 1 tablespoon of egg-milk; add flavoring of choice. | 4. Stir flour-milk mixture with a fork, it will be slightly dry and rather stiff (add a bit extra milk if it appears "too" dry). | 5. Dump dough onto a floured surface, incorporating any dry crumbs from the bottom of the bowl; knead several times but DO NOT OVERWORK the dough. | 6. Divide into two balls; place one on either end of the baking stone or cookie sheet; pat into an 8-inch disk, about half-inch thick. | 7. Using a pastry brush, spread the reserved egg-milk over the tops of both disks; sprinkle with Topping of Choice covering thoroughly. | 8. With a pizza cutter or big knife, cut each cake into wedges (four large or six small), LEAVE IN PLACE. | 9. Bake for 20-25 minutes (tops will be golden brown); separate wedges and check that dough is "dry" -- if not, pop back in oven & give it 2-3 more minutes; then serve immediately. | 10. SERVE WITH: Recipe #186965 or Recipe #208437. | 11. LEFTOVER SCONES: as if -- but okay IF you have leftovers, cut horizontally, spread with butter and toast lightly. | 12. GREAT COMBINATIONS: | 13. chocolate chips with cranberries & brown sugar topping. | 14. chocolate chips with orange zest & orange flavoring. | 15. cranberries with walnuts. | 16. cranberries with apricots. | 17. apricots with nuts. | 18. poppyseeds with lemon flavoring & zest. | 19. cheese with nuts or chocolate chips. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
