Combine in bowl and mix until mixture looks like crumbs:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar

Gather dough into ball and knead lightly twelve times on lightly flour surface.
Divide dough into 4 pieces.
Pat each section into a circle 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick.
Cut each circle into 6 pie wedge pieces.
Transfer to baking sheet. I keep each circle together on baking sheet.

2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon milk or cream (I use skim milk)
