Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 450°. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and rub into dry ingredients with your fingers until pea-size crumbles form. Stir in milk until dough forms. Transfer to a heavily floured work surface and pat into a 12″ × 12″, l″-thick square; cut square into 16 smaller squares. Using a floured metal spatula, transfer squares to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with butter, jam, and clotted cream.
