Instructions
-
1.
In a bowl combine flour with baking powder. Cut the butter into cubes and rub it into the flour-baking powder mixture to form crumbs. Mix in the sugar and create a well in the center. Pour in the milk and stir until combined. On a floured surface, knead by hand into a smooth dough, adding more flour or milk as needed so the dough no longer sticks to your hands.

2.
Preheat the oven to 200 °C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about 2 cm thickness and cut small buns with a round cutter (≈6 cm diameter). Place them on the tray with space between, bake for 10–12 minutes until risen and golden brown.
