9. In a small bowl whisk egg and milk until combined. Slowly incorporate this with a spoon to the dry mix until it is a slightly sticky dough. (you will be left with a little milk/egg mix, this is the egg wash)

11. Flatten the dough, using a little flour until it is 2cm in height. Dip a round cutter (6-7cm) in flour and cut straight down - do not twist. Repeat until all scones are cut out.

13. Brush scones with the reserved milk/egg mixture, trying not to get any liquid down the sides as this will prevent them from rising.
