Step 1
Heat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.
Step 2
Add cold butter cubes and rub with fingertips until mixture looks like breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Pour in milk and stir just until a shaggy dough forms — don't overwork it.
Step 4
Lightly flour a surface and pat dough into a 1-inch-thick round, then cut into 8 wedges.
Step 5
Place wedges on a sheet pan and bake until golden brown and risen, about 12 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes, then serve warm with clotted cream and jam.
