This is really a basic biscuit recipe. Its one of those old recipes that has no real measurements....this is all approximate. I sometimes add dried cranberries. You can add a bit of sugar if you like.

2 cups all purpose flour..you can add 1/4 of of WW flour but just two cups for the entire recipe
3 tsp baking powder
little bit of salt
Whisk the dry ingredients together..
blend in 1/4 cup of butter...maybe a little more depending on flour...until well blended. I use a pastry blender.
Add 1/2 cup of milk or more if needed to make a soft pliable dough.
(The least amount of handling makes for a better scone).
Put out onto a floured board and knead just a little until it comes together in a small ball. Then take 1/2 of dough and mold into a round and pat it down and cut it into 4 pieces. do same with other half of dough. Let them rise a little bit. Preheat oven to 400 degrees....put in cast iron griddle or fry pan.
When ready for oven, dip each scone into a mixture of 1 beaten egg and a little water and place in heated pan.. (I use some parchment paper to prevent sticking). Bake until nicely browned....about 25 minutes.
Bon Appetite!
