4. Divide dough in half and shape into two disks, each 9 inches in diameter on parchment paper or nonstick foil on baking sheet. (Oiled gloves help since the dough is very sticky.) Then divide the dough into eight pieces by cutting it as one would cut a pie. (An oiled cake cutter or bench scraper works well.)

5. Bake 17-22 minutes on the middle rack. (If your oven heats unevenly, rotate baking sheets at halfway point.) When done, the scones should be light brown and lightly set, not hard or crisp.

5. Place the baking sheet on a wire cooling rack. Immediately re-cut the wedges if scones have stuck together. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes.
