Method

1. Combine flour and baking powder.
2. Rub butter in well.
3. Add water and mix to a soft dough.
4. Turn out onto a floured board and knead lightly.
5. Roll out 20mm thick and cut into portions.
6. Place on a greased tray and brush the tops with milk.
7. Bake until brown on top, about 12-14 minutes in a hot (200°C) oven.

It is important to not over knead the dough as it will make it tough and prevent the scones rising.
