Preheat the oven to 220 C, 200 C fan, gas Mk 6. Grease and flour a baking sheet. Sift together the flour, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar. Stir in the buttermilk and egg. Knead the dough briefly to even out the texture.
Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a depth of approx. 1cm thick. Use a floured 5 cm cutter to cut out 12 scones. Reroll the dough if necessary. Transfer to the pepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack. Serve cold or warm with sliced strawberries and cream.
