3. For the batter, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large mixing bowl.

4. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add eggs and milk; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Do not overmix; batter will be lumpy.

6. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm.
