Skons

Shabeeda Persaud

2 cups all purpose flour

2 Tbsp granulated sugar (this you can adjust based on how sweet you would like it, I would put a little more)

1 tsp salt

4 tsp baking powder

½ tsp cream of tartar

½ cup butter

¾ cup cold milk (I find that I have to add a little more to bring dough together)

Combine first five ingredients in a bowl, cut in butter like you would pastry dough.

Pour in milk and mix.

Press dough together and cut it into the shape you like.

Brush with cream or egg wash and bake in a 400 degree oven.

Check it at about 12 minutes and see how brown you would like it and adjust time accordingly.

I would add raisins or cranberries during the mixing with milk stage.
