Mix the flour and salt together and rub in the butter. Mix in the sugar, then the milk until the dough is soft. Turn on to a floured board and knead very lightly.

Make a round roughly Â¾ in / 2cm thick. Using a scone cutter (about 2in / 5 cm) cut into rounds and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and continue cutting more scones to use up all the dough.

Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk.

Bake for 12-15 minutes in pre-heated oven (220C/425F) until well risen and golden.
