85g diced butter
350g self-raising flour
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
4 tbsp caster sugar
200ml milk , warmed to room temperature, plus a splash extra
crushed sugar cubes , to decorate

Steps:

  • Tip out onto a lightly floured surface and turn over a couple of times to very gently bring together with your hands. Gently pat to about 1in thick, then stamp out rounds with a floured cutter.
