Scones

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2: In a large bowl whisk flour and sugar together. Using a pastry cutter or two knives work butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal.

Step 3: In a small bowl or measuring cup whisk together the egg and milk. Add one cup of the milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix together with your hands until a soft dough forms; adding 1-2 tablespoons of milk mixture if dough seems dry. Reserve remaining milk mixture.

Step 4: Transfer dough to a floured board. Pat dough out to a 1 inch thickness and using a 3 inch round cookie cutter (or a coffee cup) cut out scones. Put scones on a lightly floured cookie sheet. Brush tops with reserved milk mixture.

Step 5: Bake for 20-30 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
