Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup finely chopped toasted California walnuts
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup 1% milk, divided
  • 24 California walnut halves

Preparation

  1. In large bowl combine flour, walnuts and baking powder. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Remove 2 tablespoons milk and set aside; add remaining milk to flour mixture and stir until just moistened.
  3. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead a few times until smooth. Roll or pat out dough to 3/4-inch thickness; cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds using lightly floured cutter.
  4. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Brush tops with reserved milk; top each with a walnut half, pressing slightly into dough.
  5. Bake in 425ºF oven 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
