Ingredients

2 c. flour 1 T. sugar 2 t. baking powder 1/2 t. baking soda 3/4 t. salt 1/4 c. butter or margarine 1 egg 2/3 c. buttermilk or sour milk

Instructions

Measure dry ingredients into large bowl. Add butter or margarine and cut in until crumbly. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy. Mix in buttermilk or sour milk and dump all into well in dry ingredients. Stir with a fork to make a soft dough. Turn out on a lightly-floured surface and knead lightly 8 to 10 times. Divide into two parts, shape each into a 6" circle. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk, sprinkle lightly with sugar. Cut each circle into 6 pie-shaped wedges, separate slightly. Bake at 425 degrees until risen and browned, about 45 minutes.
