  3. Add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. In a bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
  5. Add this mixture, a little at a time, to the dry ingredients until a sticky dough is formed.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a round 3/4-inch thick.
  7. With a cookie cutter, stamp out rounds.
  8. (I use a drinking glass approx. 2" diameter) Transfer rounds to a greased baking sheet.
