  Measure first 7 ingredients into large bowl. Add butter and cut in until
  crumbly.  Make a well in centre.

  In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy.  Mix in buttermilk. Stir with a
  fork to make a soft dough.  Turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead
  lightly 8 - 10 times.  Divide into two parts.  Pat each part into 6 inch
  circle.  Place on greased baking sheet.  Brush tops with milk.  Sprinkle
  with sugar.  Score each top into 6 pie shaped markings.  Bake in 425F
  oven until risen and browned.  Serve hot with lots of butter.

  NOTE: Raisins or currants may be added if desired.
