Preheat the oven to 220ºC. Grease or flour a baking tray.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add the milk and quickly mix with a round-bladed table knife to a soft dough. For light and tender scones the mixture should be quite soft and a little sticky. Scrape the dough onto the floured baking tray and flour the top.
Working quickly, pat the dough out to 2cm thickness and with a floured knife cut it into 12 even-sized pieces, then separate the scones to allow 2cm space between them. Brush the tops with milk.
Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Place on a wire rack to cool, wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft.

Excellent easy recipe. I had cheese to the mix, for a lovely cheesie result.
My dad used to make them when I was a kid now I am putting this recipe in my personal recipe book for my kids one day
Yummy and good
One of my all time favourite go to recipes, I’ve been making these for 35+ years!! Very versatile if you’re wanting to make savoury scones etc.
I tried this recipe and found them so salty!!!!
Love these scones. A taste from home..

It's an ok recipe tbh. Pretty average, but quite easy to make and sell at our café
