Method

Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt, then rub in the cold butter until it looks like fine crumbs.
Add the milk and mix with a knife just until a soft dough forms.
Pat the dough out on a floured surface to about 2.5 cm thick and cut out rounds with a 6 cm cutter, pressing straight down; re-pat the scraps once.
Set the scones close together on the sheet, brush the tops with beaten egg, and bake until risen and golden, 12 to 15 minutes.
Cool briefly on a rack and serve warm, split and spread with butter.
