  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. Rub in the butter using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

  4. Add raisins/sultanas if using.

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Reserve 1 tbsp for brushing tops.

  6. Pour wet mixture into dry and mix into a soft dough. Don’t overwork it!
