The Good Bit
- Pre heat your oven too220c 425f gas 7. Sift the flour into your bowl along with the baking powder and salt, drop in the butter and get your hands in there and rub until the mixture looks like bread crumbs, stir in the sugar then slowly add the milk a little at a time until you have a soft dough.
- Lightly flour a surface and knead your dough on it then roll out to an inch thin, cut 2 inch rounds then place on your greased baking tray, brush with milk and then place n the oven for 10 minutes. Transfer to the wire rack (for traditional English cream tea, serve with jam and clotted cream, and I'm gutted we can't find clotted cream over here in France otherwise I'd open a tea shop!!)
