mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

stir to blend.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry

comes together in a fairly soft dough.
- Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured
surface and knead gently for 30 seconds.
- Roll it out to a 2cm thickness.
- Cut out circles with a biscuit cutter.
Arrange them, not touching, on an ungreased baking sheet, then glaze
with the beaten egg.

until well risen and golden brown.
- Using a palette knife, transfer the
scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
