Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C

In a large bowl, rub the butter into the flour until it looks like fine breadcrumbs

Add the sugar and stir well

Add the sultanas and stir for even distribution (add more or less depending on how fruity you like your scones)

Pour in the milk and stir thoroughly until all the liquid is incorporated

Flour your hands and pull the ingredients into a soft dough

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to 1 inch thick (2.5cm) ( you can do this with your hands - no need for a rolling pin)

Cut out rounds with a 7-9cm pastry cutter

Place on a baking tray that is greased, or lined with baking parchment

Bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and golden brown

Place on a cooling rack

Best eaten while still warm!
