Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times, until a soft dough has formed.
- Pat the dough out into a large circle or rectangle and cut out or slice to make the scones. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes.
- Makes about 18 to 24 scones.
