Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, then add the sugar and salt and stir to mix.
Make a well in the centre, crack in the egg and whisk, gradually drawing in the flour from the edge. Add the milk gradually, whisking all the time, to form a smooth batter.
Lightly grease a frying pan with a drop of sunflower oil and warm it over a moderate heat. Drop 3 tablespoons of batter into the pan, keeping them well apart so they don't stick together. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and begin to burst and the scones are golden underneath.
Flip them over and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden on this side too. Remove from the pan and serve warm with butter and your favourite Folláin Jam.
