Using a pastry cutter, two forks, or your hands, cut in the

For traditional triangle scones, lay the dough on a floured surface and press into a rectangle. Cut the dough in half, then in half once more to create four squares. Cut each square in half on a bias to create a triangular scone shape.

For round scones, lay the dough onto a floured surface. Press into a square, then use a biscuit cutter to cut out your circles. You may reuse the scraps for more scones.
