With pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in butter or margarine until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in eggs; Kalamata olives, and 3/4 cup milk just until ingredients are blended. On lightly floured surface, pat dough into 8-inch squares. With knife, cut dough into 3 strips, then cut each strip crosswise into 3 pieces. With pancake turner, place scones, 1 inch apart, on cookie sheet. Brush scones with 2 tsp, milk; sprinkle with 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese. Bake scones 15 to 20 minutes until golden. Serve scones warm, or remove them to wire rack to cook completely. Reheat if desired. Makes 9 scones.
