Preheat the oven 180°C. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
Put the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and the sugar to the bowl.
Measure the milk into a jug, crack in the eggs and mix well. Have your mini scone cutter handy.
Rub the butter into the flour and sugar, using your fingers, until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Make a well in the middle and pour in the milk mix, but keep a little back for egg wash about 20-30ml.
Work in with a fork, and then dust the worktop with flour and use your hands to gently knead into a smooth round. If it's still sticky add more flour.
Flatten the dough out, about 1 inch thick. Dip the mini cutter (mines 2 inches) into the bag of flour and cut out the scones. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
Brush with the remaining eggwash, add a bit more milk if needed.
Bake 18-20 mins at 180°C.
Cool completely then store. Good for 3 days in an airtight container.
##Notes
Store in food safe bags in the freezer for 3 months. Defrost in an airtight container overnight, then in the morning add butter and jam and pop them in the lunchbox.
