  2. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a bowl and add the golden caster sugar.
  3. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips to make crumbs.
  4. Add the blueberries and pour in the buttermilk. Use a flat knife to mix everything together.
  5. Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface to make a smooth dough. Roll out to a thickness of 2.5cm (1in).
  6. Dip a 5cm (2inch) plain cutter in some flour, then use it to stamp out 8 rounds of dough.
  7. Use a palette knife to lift the scones onto the pre-heated baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 mins until the scones are risen and pale golden. Cool on a wire rack.
