Method :

1. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C. Grease a simple baking tray.
2. Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl, and stir until smooth.
3. Beat eggs and fresh milk. Melt the butter and add this to the eggs and fresh milk mixture.
4. Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture is well blended.
5. Once you have combined the wet and dry ingredients, stir slowly until the dry ingredients are moist. Do not stir further beyond this level.
6. Turn the dough over to a lightly floured surface and knead gently four or five times until it comes together.
7. Roll with a flour grinder pin on the surface of the flour to a thickness of 2.5cm, and cut into neat rounds, 5-8cm in diameter, with a scone cutter.
8. Place the scones, slightly apart, on a baking tray. Melt the glazing mixture (eggs) with a little water, and add to the scones.
9. Bake at 200C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
10. Allow to cool then serve with butter, jam or frozen cream.
