HONEY AND APPLE SCONES

Steps:

• Pre heat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
• Place the flour and butter or margarine into a large bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, place these ingredients in the bowl of your food mixer, attach a beater and mix on low until you have achieved the same result.
• Make a well in the centre of this mixture and add 75g of the honey and all the grated apple.
• Add the egg and two thirds of the milk. Using your fingers bring the ingredients together until you have a soft, pliable dough. Add additional milk if the dough feels too dry. Alternatively, mix with the beater in your food mixer until you achieve the same results.
• Liberally sprinkle flour over your worktop and place the dough on top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to around 3cm (1¼") thick. Use a 7cm (2½") cutter to cut out your scones. Gather up the trimmings and repeat until you have 12 scones.
• Place the scones on a lined tray and brush the tops with the remaining milk. Place into your oven for 10-15 minutes or until risen and golden.
• Remove from the oven and while the scones are still hot brush with the remaining 25g of honey. Leave to cool.
