They are easy. I’ll go and get the recipe. It’s from the Mary Berry Aga book but you can make them in a normal oven

340 gm SR flour 1.5 teaspoon baking powder 75 gm caster sugar 60 gm butter (softened - it’s warm in our kitchen so butter is soft anyway) 1 large egg About 200 ml milk 3 pinches salt
Mix flour, salt and baking powder. Rub in butter till you have what looks like breadcrumbs. Add fruit (2 big handfuls currants and / or glacé cherries). Break egg in mixing jug, whisk and make up to 220 ml with milk. Stir milk / egg into dry ingredients with fork (dough will seem quite wet and sticky* Turn out onto well floured surface. Roll out or pat until inch and half thick. Cut out with well floured cutter and put onto a well great baking sheet. Brush top of uncooked scones with milk. Cook at 220 deg C / fab 200 deg C / gas 7 for approx 12 mins
* the dough really is sticky. Avoid handling wherever possible and do not knead
