- 25g (1oz) caster sugar
- 25g (1oz) margarine

Method
Prepare a floured baking tray and preheat the oven to 220°C/425°C/Gas Mark 8
Sieve the flour into a bowl and stir in sugar and sultanas.
Rub in the margarine until the flour begins to resemble breadcrumbs.
Add in the buttermilk slowly until you have added enough to form a soft dough. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and gently knead to remove any cracks.
Roll out the dough until it is approximately 1 inch in thickness. Cut into desired size with a cutter dipped in flour.
Arrange the scones on the baking tray and brush the top of the scones with the beaten egg to glaze.
