Self cooking photograph

all purpose flour 2 cups
sugar 1/3 cup
baking powder 2-1/2tsp
salt 1/4tsp
butter 1/3 cup - cold
strawberries 100g - chunks
milk 2/3 cup
Method:
Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub in the flour with hands or a pastry blender.
Keep rubbing with hands till it resembles breadcrumbs.
Now stir in the strawberries without crushing.
Add the milk and stir until just combined. Do not over mix.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough for half a minute.
Now roll the dough into a 7 inches circle and about 1-1/2 inches thick.
Cut this circle into 8 triangles.
Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and then brush the top with milk.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 C for 15 to 20 minutes or until a thin skewer inserted in the center comes out dry.
Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
Enjoy with breakfast tea or coffee.
Serves 8.
