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.
This recipe makes the best scones that I've ever eaten! Perfect proportions.

I used this recipe to make something called a twist which looks more fancy with a hex extra steps first I make this scone recipe then I split it into 2 and roll each part to be quite thin then like cinnamon rolls I put a filling my favourite is cinnamon sugar on a thin butter layer to stick but there is also a savoury tomato sauce and cheese then you roll it up like a cinnamon roll after that you cut the roll in half vertically so you get 2 half circle then you stick the top parts to farther than start overlapping when side on the other making a twist like braid then you stick the bottom prices together and put a splash of Milk on it before it goes into the oven like this recipe says.try it it’s amazing

For us guys it would nice to equate a Cup serving into grams. Eg “3 Cups or 400 grams of flour”
