Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Combine flour and baking powder in a bowl, rub in butter until it looks like breadcrumbs, then stir in sugar.

Beat the egg in a jug and add enough milk to reach 100ml, reserving one tablespoon for glaze.

Gradually stir the liquid into the dry ingredients to form a soft, sticky dough.

Pat the dough to 2cm thickness on a floured surface and cut scones with a 4cm cutter without twisting.

Re-roll the dough trimmings to cut out the remaining scones.

Place scones on greased trays and brush the tops with the reserved milk.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until golden and cool on a wire rack.

Serve halved with strawberry jam and cream.
