---

• Preheat oven to 425 deg. F
• Combine dry ingredients and mix together well
• Add butter and mix until coarse crumbs are created
• Separately, combine milk and syrup
• Add wet ingredients to dry ones to form wet dough
• Flour surface generously
• Divide dough in half
• Pat down each half into 7 inch circles about 7/8 inches thick
• Cut dough circles into 8 even pieces (like pie)
• Move slices onto greased baking sheet setting them so they re-form the original circle shape (slightly separated)
• Pierce with fork and brush with maple syrup
• Bake until golden (12-14 min) and brush with maple syrup again

(a variation can be made by adding lemon zest to the dough)
