3 ½ cups self-raising flour
4 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups milk
1 egg yolk
jam, as needed
clotted cream, as needed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, rub together the self-raising flour and cubed butter until you form fine crumbs.
  • Mix in the sugar, baking powder, and salt, and make a well in the middle.
  • Pour in the milk and gently mix together until just combined.
  • Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about a minute. Be careful not to over-knead the dough.
