  Cut 13 Tablespoons of the cold butter into 13 equal slices and add to mixing bowl. Turn speed to medium and mix until butter is broken down to pea size pieces, being careful not to overbeat.

  In a large measuring cup or small bowl, lightly beat egg and buttermilk with a fork and slowly add to flour/butter mixture in mixing bowl, beating on medium low just until combined.

  On a flat surface sprinkle remaining flour lightly to coat. Turn out dough and pat gently to about a 1-inch thick rectangle. With a knife, cut into 12 equal squares. Place onto prepared baking sheet. Using your thumb, press an indentation in the middle of each.
