Holiday Scones
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter or
    margarine, cut into 8 pieces
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup milk
1 large egg

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat cookie sheet with no-stick cooking spray.

Place scone mix in a large bowl. Cut in butter with two knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a small bowl, beat together honey, milk and egg with wire whisk or fork. Add to dry ingredients all at once; stir with fork just until dough starts to hold together. Transfer dough to floured surface; knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges about 1 inch apart on cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.

Serve warm. Makes 8 scones.
