make a well in the centre and gradually add the egg and milk mix to form a stiff dough. you may not need all the egg and milk mix so save any remaining for glazing the tops before cooking.

place on a greased baking sheet and glaze tops with left over egg and milk mixture or milk. put in the oven for about 10 minuits or untill golden brown.
