Add texture to your scones with the use of crunchy apples.

Scones

2 cupsSelf raising flour
1 tspBaking powder
1 pinchSalt
50 gButter
2 TbspCaster sugar
1Apple, peeled, cored and diced (Main)
½ cupMilk

Topping

2 TbspMilk
¾ cupTasty cheese, finely grated

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C.
  2. Place the flour and baking and salt in a large bowl then stir. Rub the butter into the flour with your finger tips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
  3. Mix in the sugar and apple. Pour in the milk and stir quickly to combine.
  4. Tip onto a lightly floured board and knead gently 2-3 times. Pat into a 3cm-thick round. Using a 6cm biscuit cutter, cut into rounds. Dipping the cutter into flour will prevent it sticking. Pat the leftover dough together and cut out more rounds.
  5. Place on a lightly floured baking tray. Brush the tops with the milk and sprinkle with the cheese.
  6. Bake for about 20 minutes, until cooked and golden.
