  • Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Add the butter, milk and maple syrup to a blender (add the maple
  • syrup last) and blitz until combined.
  • Transfer the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix to form

  • Roll into a ball, wrap in cling wrap and refrigerate for 45 minutes.
