Preheat your oven to 220ยฐC (425ยฐF). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
โฑ๏ธ 2 minutes - 2
In a large bowl, combine the sifted self-raising flour, salt, and optional sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. This should take about 5 minutes. Ensure there are no large lumps of butter remaining.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 3
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in most of the milk (reserve about 2 tablespoons). Using a round-bladed knife or a spatula, gently mix the ingredients together until they just start to come together to form a soft, slightly sticky dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will result in tough scones.
โฑ๏ธ 3 minutes - 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently bring the dough together with your hands and pat it down to about 2 cm (ยพ inch) thickness. Avoid kneading. Use a 5-6 cm (2-2.5 inch) round cutter to cut out as many scones as possible. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to ensure even rising. Re-pat the scraps gently once and cut more scones.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 5
Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are close together for a good rise. Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved milk. This will help them achieve a golden-brown color.
โฑ๏ธ 1 minute - 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are well-risen, golden brown on top, and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. The exact time will depend on your oven.
โฑ๏ธ 12-15 minutes - 7
Transfer the baked scones to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with clotted cream and your favorite jam.
