Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

3 In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 2 Tablespoons of sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter in with a fork, pastry blender, or your (clean) hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the milk and egg until moistened (do not overmix)

browned and the filling is bubbly.
