Categories: Cookies
Yield: 30 scones

4 c All-purpose flour
4 ts Double-acting baking powder
2 tb Sugar
2 Sticks cold, unsalted
-butter, cut into pieces
4 lg Eggs
4 tb Milk
1 c Finely chopped toasted
-pecans

In a food processor, process the flour, the baking
powder, the sugar, and the butter until the mixture
just resembles coarse meal. In a small bowl whisk
together the eggs and the milk, add the mixture to the
processor, and blend the dough, pulsing the motor,
until it is just combined. Turn the dough out onto a
floured surface and knead in the pecans. Roll or pat
the dough 1/2 inch thick, with a 2" cutter cut out
rounds, and transfer them to a greased baking sheet.
Bake the rounds in the middle of a preheated 425
degree oven for 14 minutes, or until they are pale
golden. Makes 30 scones.
