You should have a nice soft dough. You may have to add a bit more milk. Quickly turn out onto a floured surface and pat to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut and place on a greased pan and bake in a PREHEATED oven at 475 for 5 minutes. Turn the oven off DO NOT open the door and let finish baking for 5 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
