Add your egg (lightly whisked)
Start adding your milk, mixing with a spoon until the dough comes together in the bowl, you might not need it all.
Turn the dough out onto your floured surface.
Roll out dough until about 1 inch thick and cut out rounds with your scone cutter.
Keep repeating this until all the dough is used up. Makes 8-10 scones approx.
