Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F / 230°C / gas 8 and lightly grease a baking tray.
  • Sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Stir in the sugar. Add all the milk and mix lightly into a soft dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead briefly. Do not overwork the dough or your scones will be tough!
  • Roll the dough out to 1.25cm / 1/2 in thickness and cut out rounds.
  • Place on the greased baking tray. Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 7-10 minutes or until well risen and golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire rack!
