In South Africa, making scones is a must in most households. I would use iNkomazi, which is a version of Sour milk. Inkomazi makes the scones soft centred and a nice outer crust. Living in the UK, I have found that Greek Yoghurt does the trick too

Steps

15min

1

Sift flour, sugar, salt in one bowl
2

Add cold butter, cube it and place it in the flour, mix with your finger tips until flour changes into crumbs
3

Now add the baking powder and whisk evenly. The reason for adding it only now is so that you don't overwork the baking powder when mixing the butter
4

In a separate bowl, beat your eggs, vanilla essence and Greek Yoghurt.
5

Mix your wet mixture into your dry bowl, portion at a time. Mix together using a butter knife, do not be heavy handed.
6

Sprinkle flower on your work surface. Add your dough, sprinkle flour on it, and fold four times. Do not knead. Flatten with your hand, not a rolling pin. 3cm thick, and cut with your preferred cutter.
7

Bake this at 220'C for 15min, this will make a dozen depending on how big or small your cookie cutter is.
