Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Lightly oil a baking sheet.

Step 2

Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl and then add the sugar. Rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the buttermilk and, using a fork, mix until it starts to clump

Step 3

Turn out onto a floured surface and very gently knead the dough for a few seconds. With a rolling pin lightly roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 cm. Then take a pastry cutter and tap it sharply so that it goes straight through the dough.

Step 4

Cut as many as you can, knead the remaining dough together again and repeat. Place the scones on the baking sheet, dust each one with flour and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a rack.
