Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

In a large bowl, combine self raising flour and salt.

Cut in unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Make a well in the center and add milk gradually.

Mix until a soft dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for a minute.

Shape the dough into a round loaf about 2.5 cm thick.

Place the loaf on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Cut a cross on the top of the loaf to help it rise evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
