tsp
Salt
1/5
cup
Butter
cubed
1/2
cup
+ 2 tbsp lukewarm milk
2
tbsp

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (425°F if using a fan oven).
Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl.
Add butter and using fingertips rub into flour until you get a fine breadcrumb consistency.
Pour in milk (save a little bit to brush the top) and mix to a soft but not sticky dough (if too sticky add more flour).
On a floured surface, press dough to 3/4" thickness.
Use a 2 1/2" round cookie cutter and cut out 4 rounds.
Re-ball the dough and press down again, then cut 2 more rounds.
Put the rounds on a greased baking tray and brush the tops with the milk.
Place in the middle of the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes until the scones are well risen and golden.
