1.
Combine the flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into cubes and rub it into the flour-baking powder mixture until crumbly. Stir in the sugar, then make a well in the center. Pour in the milk and stir to combine. On a floured surface, knead with your hands into a smooth dough. Add more flour or milk as needed until the dough no longer sticks to your fingers.

Preheat the oven to 200°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 12 portions and shape each into round buns. Place them on the prepared tray with space between, and bake for 10–12 minutes (test with a skewer).
