- Turn the oven on to 220°C/fan 200°C/Gas mark 7. Grease a baking sheet by rubbing it with a little butter.
- Sieve the flour and baking powder into a large bowl. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and salt.
- Use an ordinary knife to mix in the milk, a little at a time, until the mixture starts to come together. Sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and tip the dough out of the bowl.
- Put a little flour on your hands and very lightly knead the mixture for half a minute until it is smooth.
- Gently form the mixture into a ball and lightly pat it out to about 3cm thick. Dip a round cutter in flour and cut scones out from the dough
- Put the scones onto the baking tray, spaced a little apart.
- Gather all the spare bits of dough and roll together to make a ball and flatten it out. Cut out the rest of the scones - you should be able to make 8.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. Put the scones into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes until risen and golden. Remove scones from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack.
