Gently pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick on a floured surface. Cut into 12 triangles.

Bake on parchment lined baking sheet in a preheated 350F oven about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.

If desired, during the last five minutes of baking, brush scones with glaze mixture. (Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon warm water. Stir until smooth. Thin if necessary for brushing consistency.)
