I use self raising flour, sugar to taste if adding dried fruit, a pinch of salt and old milk. Put in COLD oven. Turn oven on to 200 degrees. When the scones should just about be ready, test to see if cooked. No butter needed. While waiting for oven to reach 200, mix up a batch of biscuits or a cake etc and place in the oven when it is up to temperature.  This cuts electricity costs.
