  4. Stir flour-milk mixture with a fork, it will be slightly dry and rather stiff (add a bit extra milk if it appears too dry).
  5. Dump dough onto a floured surface, incorporating any dry crumbs from the bottom of the bowl; knead several times but DO NOT OVERWORK the dough.
  6. Divide into two balls; place one on either end of the baking stone or cookie sheet; pat into an 8-inch disk, about half-inch thick.

  8. With a pizza cutter or big knife, cut each cake into wedges (four large or six small), LEAVE IN PLACE.
