    1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet or small pan of your choice.

    2. Mix together the flour, salt and sugar, then add the butter cutting it in with a pastry blender or by using two knives together until the butter lumps are very small.
  • Step 3
    3. Add milk a little at a time, adding only what you need while mixing dough up into a ball with a fork.
