1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 ounces butter
11/2 tablespoons sugar
small amount sultanas
buttermilk to mix

rub together flour,baking powder and butter to fine crumbs

add rest of ingredients and mix
don,t make to wet
pat out about 2 1/2cm thick and cut to desired shape
bake in a fairly hot oven for about 12 mins or until well risen and golden.
