Pre-heat the oven to 200ยฐC/Fan180/400ยฐF/Gas 6
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl then rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the Caster Sugar and mix well.
Make a well in the centre, pour in the milk and mix to a soft elastic dough.
Knead lightly on a floured surface and pat out to about 2cm (ยพโ) thickness. Using a 5cm (2โ) plain or fluted biscuit cutter, dip into a bowl of flour then stamp into rounds, placing them on a lightly greased baking sheet.
Gather up the trimmings and cut out more rounds. Brush with the beaten egg or milk for a glossy finish or sprinkle with a little flour for a soft finish.
Bake for 12-14 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Leave to cool on a wire rack then serve warm, split and spread with butter or cream and jam.
