Awesome English Tea Scones - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into bits)
1 large egg
5 ounces milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
Add this mixture, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients until a sticky dough is formed.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a round 3/4-inch thick.
With a cookie cutter, stamp out rounds.
(I use a drinking glass approx. 2\" diameter) Transfer rounds to a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 12- 15 minutes until golden.
Serve with jam and cream.
