Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment.

Step 2

Measure the flour, baking powder and butter into a bowl. Rub with your fingertips until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and sultanas or do this in a food processor.

Step 3

Mix the eggs and buttermilk together in a jug and pour all but 1 tablespoon into the flour bowl and lightly mix together until combined – it should be a fairly moist dough.

Step 4

Lightly sprinkle the worktop with flour and gently knead the dough until smooth and soft. Roll to about 2.5cm (1in) thick. Using a 6cm (2½ in) round fluted scone cutter, stamp out 12 scones.
