Method
Pre-heat the oven to 185degC (170deg fan assisted), 375degF, gas mark 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, soda, salt and sugar. Cut the butter into it in small pieces, then rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture is like fine breadcrumbs.

Add the oats, sultanas and milk and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together.
Turn out the mixture onto a floured surface and knead gently – don’t overdo it or the dough will become tough.
Roll out to roughly 2cm thickness, then cut 12 rounds with a 5cm cutter (or use the rim of a glass if you don’t have one)
Dust a baking tray with a little flour, then arrange the scones evenly onto it.

Sprinkle the tops with a little extra flour and bake for 20-25 minutes until risen and golden
