  2. Sieve the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the sugar and blend together well.
  3. Add the butter to the bowl and using a fork, blend everything together until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  4. Stir in the milk then use your hands to bring together a soft mass of dough.
  5. Lightly dust the worktop with flour, place the dough in the middle and flatten it to 3cm/1” with your hands.
  6. Press around pastry cutter or up-turned coffee cup into the dough to cut out circles. Lift the dough circles onto the prepared baking tray.
