Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
Procedure
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet (or use parchment paper or a baking pad)
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture until moistened.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Separate the dough into 2 equal sized balls. Push the sides of each ball down so the center is taller than the sides. Cut each circle into 4 pieces and place on a baking sheet.
Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
