Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Cut the butter into cubes. Mix the flour, baking powder, icing sugar and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and knead into a dough. When it comes together a little more, add the buttermilk and make a nice thick dough. If you are one of the optionals (chocolate, cranberries or raisins) at home then add these! (we would go for 1 of the 3, not all 3 ;)).

From the ball of dough, make a slab of dough (roll it or flatten it well with your fingers) to a thickness of 1 cm. Take a cup or glass and make sure that a 4 cm circle is cut out. Place them on the baking tray and bake for 12 minutes until lightly brown.

Delicious with whipped cream or jam. Enjoy!
