Sift dry ingredients, rub in butter and mix to a soft dough with milk,
knead on a lightly floured board, roll out, cut, place on lightly greased
and floured tray and bake in a hot oven 230C (450F) for 10-15 minutes or
until golden brown.
To this basic recipe you can add sugar, fruit, cheese, etc.
Hints for making scones.
1. Sift baking powder, flour and salt.
2. Rub in butter thoroughly but quickly and lightly using the tips of your
fingers, until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Mix in milk lightly and quickly, using a knife.
4. Make a soft dough.
5. Turn on a lightly floured board and knewad lightly.
6. Roll lightly to about 12-20mm (1/2 to 3/4 inch) thick.  Cut into shapes.
7. The flour you use is important, use a flour with a high protein content.
8. The recipe is made using a baking powder made with cream of tarter as
the main ingredient. If using a baking powder with a food phosphate as the
main ingredient, warm the milk slightly before use.
