These roughly shaped spicy scones look more like rock cakes than conventional scones and the chopped apple gives them a pleasant, moist texture. Ingredients:
8 ounces wholemeal self-rising flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
4 ounces butter |
2 ounces soft brown sugar |
2 medium sized cooking apples, peeled, cored and finely diced |
1 medium egg |
Directions:
1. Set oven to 375*F or Mark 5.
2. Mix the flour, cinnamon and baking powder together in a large bowl.
3. Rub in the butter, stir in the sugar and apple and lastly stir in the egg.
4. Mould into 10 or 12 small rough heaps (as you would for rock cakes) and place on a floured baking sheet.
5. The mixture must not be too wet or the scones will lose their 'rocky' shape.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
7. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
8. Serve split in half, with butter.
