The Beaten Whisk Scones

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C, 180°C Fan or Gas Mark 6.
2. Sift all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
3. Add the butter into the dry ingredients and rub until it resembles fine breadcrumbs in texture.
4. Pour in the buttermilk and the egg into the bowl, mix into a dough and knead well.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 2-2.5cm.
6. Use a round cutter to cut out your scones and place onto a lined baking tray. Beat an egg and brush the top of the scones and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden on top.
