Instructions

Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl along with the butter
Bring together either by hand or on the machine's lowest setting
Once the mix resembles crumbs add the milk
Continue till mix till the crumbs begin to clump together
Remove from the mixer and form into a ball by hand
(as scones are short and crumbly you should work the mix as little as possible)
Wrap the dough in cling film and reserve in the fridge till firm
Pre heat the oven to 180c
Once the dough is firm remove from the fridge and roll to the required thickness
Cut out the scones to the required size and place on a baking sheet
Brush the tops with egg wash and place in the pre heated oven
Cook for 16-22 minutes or until the tops are golden and sides are cracked
Remove from the heat and leave to cool naturally
