2.Sift flour and sugar into large bowl; rub in butter with fingertips. Add buttermilk; use knife to “cut” buttermilk through the mixture to form a soft, sticky dough. Knead dough lightly on floured surface until smooth.

3.Press dough out to an even 2.5cm thickness. Dip a 6.5cm cutter into flour; cut as many rounds as possible from the dough. Place scones side by side, just touching, in pan.
