The oven to 220 degrees Celsius, and put baking paper on a baking sheet

Mix together the flour and salt and rub in the butter

Stir in the sugar and then the milk to get a soft dough

Put the dough on a floured work surface and knead very lightly. Roll it out with a rolling pin until it’s about 2 cm thick. Use a round cookie cutter and place on a baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up

Cool on a wire rack and serve with butter and good jam and maybe some clotted cream
