Put the butter with the dry ingredients and rest it overnight.

In the morning:

Combine the milk and eggs and beat the lightly (preferably in a jug where you measure the milk)

Mix all the dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl until combined and pour in the egg and milk mixture. (don’t pour it all in unless its needed) Keep an eye on this to achieve a smooth dough.

Once it’s smooth, take it out, place it on a floured bench and fold it with your hands until you get the right consistency.

Roll it out to a height of about 4cm and cut out the scones using a scone cutter.

Spray your trays with canola spray and line them with baking paper.

Place scones on the tray and brush them with egg wash.

Put them in a hot oven on 180 degrees and bake for 12 minutes with no fan.

Let them cool and serve with double cream and triple berry jam.
