**The secret to excellent biscuits is COLD BUTTER.
Quite often, the biscuit dough gets worked so much that the butter softens before the biscuits even go in the oven.
Try cutting the butter into small pieces and stick back in the fridge, pulling out only when ready to incorporate into the dough.
METHOD
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
blend the dry ingredients to cut cold butter
Don't go too crazy here - you want to see small, pea-sized pieces of butter throughout the dough.
Add in the milk and egg and mix just until the ingredients are combined.
The dough will be sticky, but don't keep working it. You should be able to see the butter pieces in the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a generously floured surface.
Sprinkle some flour on to the top of the dough so it won't stick to your fingers and knead 10-15 times. If the dough is super sticky, just sprinkle on some additional flour.
Pat the dough out to 3/4 - 1 inch thickness and cut with a biscuit cutter or glass. I ended up with eight
Place the biscuits on a lightly greased baking sheet or parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
