What you need:

How to:

Preheat oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Lightly dust a flat baking tray with flour.
Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl. Add the sugar and mix well.
Rub the butter/margarine into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sultanas or raisins, if used, and mix through.
Finally add the egg and sufficient milk to make a soft dough, not too wet or sticky. Turn onto a lightly floured board and gently knead, just enough to bring the dough together.
Transfer to the prepared baking tray and shape into a round about 4cm/1½" deep. Cut a cross on top.
Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown and tapping underneath produces a hollow sound. Serve freshly baked and spread with butter.
