Pat dough into an 8-inch circle and cut into wedges and place on greased baking sheet.

Enjoy!!
these look amazing!
They were great! I was really impressed with how they turned out!
Do you have any left?
Nope! But, I’ll make some more!
Your scones look so yummy. I just made some plain ones and my husband is getting all of them eaten for me. I liked adding a little strawberry to them.
My daughter wants me to make Vanilla Bean scones like the ones at Starbucks. I think they may be next on my list!
Strawberry sounds good, as well!
