·
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan and line a baking tray
with greaseproof baking paper or a silicone mat.
·
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and
baking powder.
·
Chop up the butter into small cubes and rub it
into the flour using your fingertips until you have a fine breadcrumb
consistency. There should be no lumps of butter remaining.
·
Stir in the sugar.
·
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the
milk. Mix together until a dough is formed.
·
Dust your work surface with flour and work the
dough into a smooth ball.
·
Roll out the dough until its 2-3 cm thick.
·
Using a 2.5 inch round cutter, cut out 8 circles
of dough. Halfway through cutting, you will probably have to re-work the dough
into a ball and roll again.
·
Place the rounds of dough onto the prepared
baking tray, leaving a gap between each.
·
Brush the tops of the dough with a little milk.
·
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until golden.
·
Remove from the oven and cool the scones on a
wire rack.
·
Best enjoyed fresh on the day with clotted cream
and jam.
