Queen's Raspberry Buns

1. Sift the flour with baking powder, salt and sugar. Cut shortening into the flour. Add beaten egg with milk.

3. Place 1/2 teaspoon of jam in center and bring edges up firmly and roll into ball.
4. Place on greased baking sheet. Make a cross on top of each bun and brush tops with milk. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
