In the bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Work in the butter with your fingers until a coarse meal is formed. Mix milk and egg together and stir into the flour mixture by hand. You may need a little extra milk. Form into 8 equal disks. Transfer the biscuits to a greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the biscuits have risen and are a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
