About the bake
How do you make fluffy scones from scratch? The key to a light textured scone is a light touch. To rub in, lift the mixture to get some air into it, and as soon as it is of the right consistency, stop. But don't panic if your a newbie to the World of scones - we have a super handy video about how to rub butter into flour which will walk you through this process step by step.
This quick and easy scone mix is a summer classic. Simple to share, and super easy to rustle up for any celebration, even one fit for a Queen this Jubilee. Once you have mastered how to make these deliciously moreish scones, simply top them with a generous dollop of delicious strawberry jam and clotted cream.

Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan, gas mark 6). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Step 2:
Rub the butter into the flour, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and salt.
Step 3:
Make a well in the centre of the mix and stir in the milk. Stir until the mixture is even and the dough comes together.
Step 4:
Turn out onto a floured surface and shape into a rough circle about 3 - 4 cm thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5:
Brush all over with milk and score into 8 rough portions (see image).
Step 6:
Bake for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold plain or with jam and cream.
