APPLE-WALNUT DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Dump anything remaining in the sifter into the bowl with the sifted ingredients. Place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle. Add the walnut oil, butter and lemon zest and mix at medium speed or pulse in the food processor until the mixture is crumbly.
• Combine the buttermilk and vanilla, and with the machine running, add the liquid to the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients come together. Stop the machine and add the apple and walnuts, then mix or pulse to combine.
• Drop by heaped tablespoons onto the baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, or serve warm.

APPLE SCONES

Steps:

• Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly. Add shredded apple and milk. Stir to form a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat into two 6-inch circles. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Score each into 6 pie-shaped wedges.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes, or until browned and risen. Serve warm with butter.

• Pour in milk and stir it in quickly, then fold dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Tip onto a lightly floured surface; pat into a round about 3cm deep.
• Dip a 6cm cutter into some flour then cut out scones, flouring the cutter each time. Squash offcuts lightly back into a round and repeat until all dough is used up. Brush tops with a little milk then place on to a lightly floured baking sheet and bake for 18-20 mins until risen and golden. Allow to cool on the tray.
• To serve, split scones then spread with a dollop of clotted cream and a spoonful of blackberry compote.

EASY APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT SCONES

APPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
• Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.

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.
