Method

Preheat oven to 200°C and in a bowl mix together the flour and salt.

Rub butter through the flour mixture until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Make a well in the centre and stir in the sultanas, sugar and milk until dough has the right consistency.

Lightly flour a flat surface and gently knead the dough with your fingers. Flatten it to about 2 cm thickness and cut the scones with a medium cutter.

Place scones onto a lined baking tray and sprinkle tops with a little plain flour. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.

Transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or jam and cream, if desired.
