Method

1. Preheat the oven to 230°C/gas 8.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder and sugar together in a bowl. Sift again to ensure the baking power is well mixed.

3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

4. Make a well in the centre and pour in the eggs and enough milk to give a fairly soft dough.

5. Mix in the sultanas.

6. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out lightly to a thickness of about 2cm. Cut into rounds with a 5cm cutter.

7. Place the rounds on a baking sheet. Liberally brush with beaten egg, making sure the egg wash doesn't spill over the edges (this will prevent cooking).

8. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until brown and well risen.

9. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
