Fruit and nut scones

This is my first time making scones. I have eaten my share but never made them myself. 
They are easy to make. They turned out quite good. Maybe not the prettiest ones but they tasted great. 
Next time I will try to make them taller.

Fruit and nut scones
Makes 15
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup dried fruit, roughly chopped 
1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
1 egg
1/2 - 2/3 cup milk

Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Add the butter cubes and rub with your fingertips until you get 
coarse crumbs. Add the nuts and dried fruit.
In a mesuring cup pour in the egg, lightly beaten. Add enough milk to make 3/4 cup. 
Pour half of the milk mixture into the flour and use a knife to blend the dough. Add the remaining milk and use the knife 
until you form a soft dough. Shape into a ball. Transfer to lightly floured surface. 
With a rolling pin, roll the dough out to a 1-1.2 inch thickness. 
Take a pastry cutter or a glass and tap it sharply so that it goes straight through the dough – do not twist.
Knead the remaining dough together and repeat. Place the scones on the baking sheet, brush with a little milk. Dust
with a little flour and bake in the middle of the oven for 12–15 minutes. 
When they’re done they will have risen and turned a golden brown.
