In a medium-sized bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a box grater.
In a glass, whisk together the milk and egg and add to the other ingredients. Stir with a spoon until the mixture just comes together. Then, place the dough onto a clean work surface and fold it a few times with a dough scraper or a spatula, so that the dough comes together. It’s important not to use your hands for this, as the butter will soften too much, causing the dough to spread out during baking.
Roll the dough into a rectangle about 30×20 cm and cut as many scones as possible using a round cutter. Fold the dough again and continue cutting out scones until all the dough is used. If you don’t have a cutter, you can also cut the dough into triangles. This amount of dough makes about 10 scones.
Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spaced a little apart. Pour 2 tablespoons of milk into the glass and use the brush to spread it over the scones.
Bake the scones in the oven for about 12 minutes. Then remove from the oven and enjoy immediately or let cool.
