It makes 6 medium sized scones. But you can make a batch and freeze the unbaked scones for later. No need to thaw just pop the frozen scones in the oven and bake a few minutes longer.
In the food processor blend until the butter is pea sized. Don't over process. You don't want to break down the butter too much. This is what makes the scones flakey.
