Stir in the sugar and enough milk to mix to soft dough.

 
Roll the dough into a ball, cover and allow it to rest for about half an hour.

 
Turn onto a floured surface, knead gently and roll out or pat to about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thickness.

 
Cut into 5 cm (2 inch) rounds using biscuit cutter or sharp knife and place onto a baking sheet.

Gather up any left over pieces of dough and repeat until it is all is used.



Brush with a little milk, this will allow the scone to colour during the cooking process. 

Put in the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until lightly brown and springy to the touch, then cool on a wire rack.

Serve with butter and dollops of clotted cream and jam when still warm.
