Apple and Cinnamon Scones

Ingredients

  • 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
  1. 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.
  2. juice the lemon and put into another bowl.
  3. Peel and core the apple then cut into small dice and stir well into the lemon juice ( to stop it going brown)
  4. Mix the apple into the flour mixture.
  5. beat the egg in a small cup (leave a little over to glaze), then add to the mixture and stir well.
  6. Add enough milk to bring it together as a dough (sometimes if the eggs are large it needs no milk)
  7. 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!!!
  8. Glaze the top with egg mix.
  9. Cook at 200oC for 20 mins or until golden brown on top.
