Instructions

Preheat the oven to 220c/ Gas mark 7

Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles a crumble, then stir in the sugar. Make a well in the centre and pour in the milk. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until it just comes together into a soft dough

Turn the mixture into a floured surface and lighlty flatten the dough until is of even thickness, about 2.5cm/ 1 inch. Avoid overworking the dough, scones need a light touch ❤

Cut the scones using a 6cm ring cutter and place on a baking tray

Brush with a little milk and bake for 10-15 mins or until the top is golden.

Cool and serve with jam and clotted cream
