- 400g white flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 100g butter (cut into dice)
- 100g sugar
- 1 egg
- milk
- lemon juice
- 2 apples
- 2 teaspoons of cinnimon
Method
- Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and butter into a large bowl rub together with the tips of your fingers (to keep it cool) until it looks like fine bread crumbs.
- juice the lemon and put into another bowl.
- Peel and core the apple then cut into small dice and stir well into the lemon juice ( to stop it going brown)
- Mix the apple into the flour mixture.
- beat the egg in a small cup (leave a little over to glaze), then add to the mixture and stir well.
- Add enough milk to bring it together as a dough (sometimes if the eggs are large it needs no milk)
- Flatten a little and cut with a medium size scone cutter, if it's large it takes longer to cook. (if I don't have a scone cutter I often use a glass or other object!!!
- Glaze the top with egg mix.
- Cook at 200oC for 20 mins or until golden brown on top.
