COMBINE

1. Combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.

WHISK TOGETHER

2. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together. Then, combine the egg mixture and the flour mixture until the dough is moist, do not over mix.

SHAPE

3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead a couple of times. Divide dough into two equal balls.

SCORE

4. Pat each ball into an 8-inch circle. Place each ball onto a parchment paper-lined or greased cookie sheet. Score each circle with a knife into 6 wedges.
