3.   Add cold butter to flour.
4.   Gently stir in beaten egg and milk.  Stir just until combined.
5.   Pour dough onto a floured surface, sprinkle with flour and press out about 1" thick.(Do not knead or over work)
6.   Cut out and place in a greased pan.
7.   Place in freezer until ready to bake.(keeping that butter cold is the key to flakiness) 
8.    Brush tops with butter. 
9.   Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
