Preheat oven to 200ºC fan forced (220ºC normal bake). Combine flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and pat the dough into a 3 cm thickness. Cut out the scones with a 5cm scone cutter and transfer to a lightly floured tray a centimeter apart. Bake for approx 12 min. until golden brown on top and dust with icing sugar.
