Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
Step 3
Add cold butter cubes and rub with your fingertips until mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Pour in milk and fold gently with a rubber spatula until shaggy dough just comes together; don't overmix.
Step 5
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat into a 1-inch-thick disk, and cut into 8 wedges with a sharp knife.
Step 6
Space wedges 2 inches apart on the sheet pan and bake 12–14 minutes until golden on top.
Step 7
Cool 3 minutes on the pan, then serve warm with butter, clotted cream, and jam.
