Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Shape the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a sharp knife to cut the circle into 8 wedges.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
