Step 1
Test the baking powder is still good by putting a teaspoon in a small dish and pouring boiling water over. It should immediately bubble and fizz vigorously.
Step 2
Heat the oven to 190°C Fan (210°C regular) / 375°F / GM Place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 3
Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the milk, and stir the ingredients until the milk is mixed with with flour and forms a dough. It's easiest to do this with your hands rather than a wooden spoon.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.
Step 5
Shape the dough into a round disc, about an inch to an inch and a half (about 3 cm) thick. Score the top deeply with an X. This is important! Don't make a round ball of dough as it won't cook in the middle.
Step 6
Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet for about 35 minutes until pale brown. (This loaf won't turn a deep gold so don't wait too long to check it.) When ready, it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
