1. Preheat oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.

 
2. Cut in butter with pastry blender (or forks/knives) until it looks like coarse sand with some slightly bigger chunks.

7. Cut into 8 wedges and bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned.

 

 
8. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Slice wedges from previous cuts.

 
9. Serve warm or at room temperature. I like mine topped with a bit of butter, jam, clotted cream, with a side of milky tea!
