Crumb mixture
Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture, cover and chill.

To shape the scones
On a lightly floured surface, flatten the dough to approx. 1.5 cm thick (approx. 20 cm in diameter), cut into 8 pieces, place the scones on a baking tray lined with baking paper, brush with milk, sprinkle with sugar.
To bake
Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180°C, remove from the oven and leave to cool on a rack.
Icing
Mix the icing sugar with the reserved lime juice to create a thick icing, drizzle on top of the scones.
