Sprinkle baking sheet lightly with flour. Combine 2 cups cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat egg and 7 tablespoons milk in small bowl. Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients, tossing with fork until moist and adding 1 more tablespoon milk if dry. Gather dough into ball. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape dough into 8-inch round about 3/4 inch thick. Transfer round to prepared baking sheet. Using sharp knife, cut round into 8 equal wedges; do not separate wedges. Bake scones until tester inserted into center comes out clean and top is golden, about 20 minutes. Recut scones. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 8.
