Preheat the oven to 220 C, 200 C fan, Gas Mark 6. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
Rub the butter into the flour, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and salt.
Make a well in the centre of the mix and stir in the milk. Stir until the mixture is even and the dough comes together.
Turn out onto a floured surface and shape into a rough square about 3 - 4 cm thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
Brush all over with milk and score into 9 rough squares. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or cold.
