Toasted pecan scones

Yield: 30 Scones

Measure Ingredient
4 cups All-purpose flour
4 teaspoons Double-acting baking powder
2 tablespoons Sugar
2 \N Sticks cold, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 larges Eggs
4 tablespoons Milk
1 cup 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 ½ 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.
