Method

Sift the flour and ground spice together in a bowl and rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, sultanas and orange zest and make a well in the centre. Add the egg and sufficient milk to make a firm dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll out to a 1cm thickness and cut into triangles.
Cook on a moderately greased griddle pan or heavy-based frying pan for about 5 minutes each side until the scones are browned and cooked. Spread with butter, if you like.
