2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, chilled and cut into small pieces

Dump dough onto parchment lined baking sheet, and gently press dough together. Pat into an 8 inch disk, and cut into 8 slices. Spread the slices out slightly, so there is some room between each scone. Sprinkle the tops with 1/4 cup turbinado sugar and bake until slightly golden and firm to the touch, anywhere from 15 to 25 minutes.
