Griddle Scones

Yield: 8 Small Scones
Ingredients
Directions
Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over low heat. I find that the best temperature for these is to find the very lowest setting and turn it up ever so slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the lard or butter. Drizzle in the honey and add the milk, starting with a scant 1/3 cup. If the dough is not fairly supple and shaggy, add just a bit more milk until this is achieved.
Flour a clean work surface and turn dough out onto it. Gently flour the top and knead 2-3 times, just enough to barely bring the dough together. Pat it down into a 1/2 inch round. Flour a sharp knife and cut the dough into 8 small triangles.
Carefully place scones on pre-heated griddle, giving them at least 1" of space in between. Cook 5-7 minutes, until the bottom has browned nicely. Very carefully turn and cook an additional 5-7 minutes.
Remove from pan and allow to cool several minutes. Serve with butter, honey, or jam.
