Instructions

- Next cut your cold butter into the flour.

- Fold in 3/4 cup of roasted pecans ( dough will be sticky ) don’t over mix otherwise the scones will be chewy ).
- Form dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Place dough in the freezer for 25 minutes.
- Take out of the freezer and shape dough into a disc about 1 inch deep. Cut the circle into 8 different slices ( I just used a pizza cutter, knife will work fine also ).
- Place the 8 slices evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
