1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk, egg, and milk.
5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times.
7. Roll the dough to 1-inch thickness and cut into rounds with a biscuit cutter.
8. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet and brush with milk.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.
