Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
Step 2
Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat together milk and egg in a small bowl; stir into flour mixture until batter is just blended. Spread batter in the prepared baking pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
