Pour milk in slowly while mixing with a fork until a shaggy dough just forms—do not overwork.

Turn dough onto a floured surface and gently pat into a 1-inch-thick round. Cut into 8 wedges.

Place scones on a sheet pan. Bake 12 minutes until the tops are pale golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
