simple sweet scones
(8 ratings)
My family loves these scones! In our household this is a go to recipe for a weekend or holiday treat. It's a biscuity style scone, not cakey/ dense or gummy like you get now in many coffee shops. My then 16 year old daughter posted this when she first discovered Recipezaar, it's now 11 years and over 100 5 star reviews later; I'm glad so many others have enjoyed it too!

-
2Add milk and stir with a fork until dough forms. You may need a little more milk depending on the moisture in your flour.
-
3Form dough into a ball and turn smooth side up. Pat or roll into 2 6 inch circles. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon and sugar,cut each circle into 6 or 8 wedges. place wedges on an ungreased cookie sheet- slightly apart for crisp sides, touching for soft.
