In a large mixing bowl, massage butter into flour and sugar. Then add milk and mix until dough like. Sprinkle a little flour onto a board and kneed dough- flatten or roll until around 1 &1/2 to 2cm in height.
If you have a 6cm scone cutter, cut out scones and place them (close together) on a greased baking tray. I didn't have a scone cutter so I used an egg ring. You will get between 15 to 20 scones out of mix.
Brush egg over the top of scones and bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until they have risen and are golden brown on top.
Serve with your choice of jam (I like blackberry) and some whipped cream. Yum!
