Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 250 g self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 25g butter, chilled and cubed
  • 175 ml milk

Instruction

  • Mix the flour with the salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour with the tips of your fingers, until it resembles fine crumbs.
  • Stir in the milk with a round blade knife (butter knife) to make a soft, but not sticky dough.
  • Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and shape into a soft, smooth ball.
  • Set the ball of dough onto a tray or baking sheet and flatten gently to make a round about 17cm across. Cut a deep cross in the dough and brush lightly with milk.
  • Bake at 190C for 30 minutes until golden.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
