Steps:
Preheat your oven to 400℉.
Combine the mix, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 5 tablespoons cold butter,
using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture is crumbly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1/3 cup cold milk, then add to the dry mixture. Stir just until moistened. Shape and bake as directed above. Yield : 8 scones.

Try this: Mix 1/2 cup of flavored or chocolate chips, dried fruit, or nuts (a combination, perhaps?) into your dry scone mix before adding the liquid. Yum!
Another version:
Preheat your oven to 400 ℉. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the mix and 1/2 teaspoon salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 3/4 cup heavy cream, then pour over the dry ingredients.
Stir just until moistened (over- mixing causes tough scones! ) Pat the dough into an 8X4-inch rectangle, cut into 8 Squares, and place the squares on a greased or parchment- lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve warm.
