Sift the flour,baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly.Roll out the dough to 1/2inch thick, then stamp out rounds using a cutter. Reroll any trimmings and cut out more rounds to make 10 biscuits in total.
Put the biscuits on a well greased cookie sheet and brush the tops with the egg yolk.
