Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 2
Cut 1/2 cup cold butter into small cubes and rub into the flour mixture with your fingertips until it looks like coarse crumbs, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in 1/2 cup chopped chestnuts, then add 3/4 cup milk and mix with a fork just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Turn dough onto a floured surface, pat into a 1-inch thick round, and cut into 8 wedges. Place on a baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake until golden brown on top, 12-15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
