Heat the oven to 200c.  Lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt and rub in the butter.

Stir in the sugar and then add the Milk to get a soft dough sticky.

Turn on to a floured work surface and knead very lightly.  Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick.  Use a 5cm/2in cutter to stamp out rounds and place on a baking sheet.  Lightly knead together the rest of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.

Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk. 

Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.

Eat immediately with butter and good jam and maybe some clotted cream.
