   Mix the flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.

   Add the butter and blend it into the flour mixture with your fingers or a pastry blender to form a mixture with an oatmeal-like texture.
3. 3
   Beat the egg and milk together. Stir into the flour mixture with a fork until the dough comes together.
4. 4
   Remove to a clean, floured surface and knead gently just until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour.
