Hand-whisk the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution.

Rub in the butter until you achieve a bread-crumb like consistency, then add the milk gradually and knead into a dough – you don’t want it to be too wet. Shape it into a disc, wrap, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Remove the dough and briefly knead it again before rolling it out between two sheets of cling-film, or on a floured work surface, to 3-4mm thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds. You can re-form and roll out the scraps again to make sure none of the dough goes to waste.

Line two baking trays with baking parchment, transfer your biscuits onto them, and chill again in the fridge for a further 30 minutes – this helps to stop them spreading when you bake them and losing the butter.

Preheat your oven to 160°C. Bake the biscuits until golden for 15-20 minutes, and leave to cool on the trays. When they have cooled, store them in an airtight container, where they will keep for up to five days.
