Best ever scones

Stop with that ridiculous no-fail recipe, no lemonade,  cream is for ON the scones, no extra stuff, stop it!

Flour
Butter
Milk

That is a scone.
The secret to the best ones are toddlers, no joke.
Dump some self raising flour in a bowl then show the child how to rub flour into butter. They can do this for ages (I normally get bored and call goof-emough).
When the mixture looks like breadcrumbs pour in some milk, roughly one part milk to two parts flour but enough to make a solid dough.
Roll the dough out, make circles with a glass, then put the scones in the oven until they sound hollow when you tap the top.
No added nasties and easy for little hands they make the perfect snack.
If you’re going to add things add only one other ingredient, I.e. make a mushy milk-pumkin mixture to add instead of milk, add sultanas or choc chips.
Simple and cheap = scone
