225g Plain Flour
2tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Salt
1tsp Sugar
50g Butter
150ml Milk
Preheat oven to 220c or Gas 7
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl.
Cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the flour until the texture is like breadcrumbs.
Slowly add the milk until the mixture forms a dough, this will take between 130ml and 150ml of milk.
On a floured surface roll the dough out to 2 cm thick and cut out scones using a cutter.
Arrange scones on baking tray and cook for 12 to 15 minutes then allow to cool on a cooling rack.
