Ridiculous method. Added the milk to the butter and it instantly went cold and clumped. Added that to the dry ingredients and had chunks of butter all through it.
Put oven settings to fan bake and put the oven on its hottest temperature.
Grease an oven tray. In a large bowl, sift the flour and optional sugar.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter and allow to cool. Add milk to butter once cooled.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry until it is nice and moist.
Tip out onto a floured bench and form into a 'round'. Carefully lift and place onto baking tray (a dough scraper helps) and cut into wedges (leave with sides touching - scones will pull apart after baking). Alternatively, use a cookie cutter or knife to cut into rounds or squares.
Turn oven down to 200°C still on fan bake.
Bake for around 15 minutes or until golden and test by sticking a knife in the centre of the scone. This should come out clean if cooked.
For sultana scones add ½ cup of sultanas to flour.
