  14. Gently form the dough into a ball and lightly dust it with a little flour.

  16. Cut the dough into desired shapes.
  17. Gather up the scraps, reroll them, and cut out more scones until the dough is used up.
  18. Pat the scones lightly to smooth the tops.
  19. Place the scones about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  20. Bake the scones for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the tops spring back when pressed lightly and they are golden brown on the top and bottom.
  21. Remove the scones from the oven and cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
