Break the egg into a measuring jug and add milk to bring the amount up to 150ml add to the flour, reserving a small amount.

Mix to a soft dough.

Place on a floured work surface, roll to a thickness of 2cm cut into rounds with a 5cm fluted cutter. Place on a baking sheet and brush with the remaining egg and milk mix.

Cool and split open and spread with your favourite jam and top with a generous dollop of Devonshire clotted cream.
