Step 1
Pre heat your oven to 170oC (325oF) Gas mark 3.
Line a muffin tray with cases.

Step 2
Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and butter in a bowl. Original recipe says to use freestanding or hand mixer to combine, but i prefer to rub butter into dry ingredients - less mess. Either way you need a sandy consistancy when done.

Step 3
Gradually pour in half the milk and beat with mixer untill just incorporated.

Step 4
Whisk egg,vanilla and remaining milk together and then add to the flour mixture. Mix until smooth.
