3 cups self-raising flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. (375 degrees F. for fan-forced ovens)

Beat together egg, sugar then milk. Combine with dry ingredients in mixer using dough hook attachment. Add wet ingredients to mixer at medium speed, using a little extra milk if necessary to get to a good dough consistency.
