2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

In a large bowl, sift together dry ingredients.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse oatmeal.

Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the milk.

Stir until dough begins to pull together then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.

Press dough together and then roll out until 3/4 inch thick.
