2 1/2 ounces butter
3/5 cup milk
1 egg, separated into yolk and white

5) Place the dough on a floured board and knead slightly until smooth. Roll out to a thickness of 1 inch (2cm) and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.
6) Brush the tops with a little egg white, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 12-15 minutes, until slightly brown.
7) Cut each scone in half and eat with jam and fresh cream.
