Gradually add the milk, a little at a time, until you have a soft dough. Knead for a few minutes. Press gently so the dough is about 3cm high. Cut out scones, transfer to a baking tray lined with non stick baking paper and rest for 10 minutes.
With a pastry brush, brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until brown on the top. Rest for 10 minutes before enjoying.
