Preheat oven to 115 degrees celsius, lightly oil a baking tray & place parchment paper or foil on it.
2

In a medium bowl, sift flour & baking powder together. Add sugar, salt & nutmeg, & mix together.
3

Add egg & rub in butter into the mixture till it looks like bread crumbs. Add milk bit by bit till a smooth stretchy but not sticky dough is formed.
4

Flour a flat surface, take out a chunk of dough & roll flat but not thin, about 1cm thick. Using a star cutter or any cutter of choice, cut out the shapes. Repeat method for the remaining dough.
