Preheat oven to 425°F.

Sprinkle milk over mixture and blend lightly with a fork until it is evenly moistened. Turn out dough onto a cornmeal-covered board. Knead 10-12 times. Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 2 to 2-1/2-inch disc and place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until lightly browned. Serve hot.
