Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually pour in enough milk to make a soft dough.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to a thickness of one centimetre. Cut into circles with a pastry cutter or an upturned glass.
Brush the scones with the remaining milk and a sprinkle of sugar. Place the circles on a floured baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Once baked, leave to cool on a wire rack.
