Apple Spiced Scones
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C fan forced. Grease a large oven tray. Sift flour, 1 tsp of the cinnamon and mixed spice into a large bowl. Stir in 2½ tbsp of the sugar. Add 80g of the butter and rub in with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. (see tip)
- Stir in apple. Make a well in the centre. Whisk together milk and egg yolk. Add to flour mixture. Using a flat-bladed knife, stir until incorporated. Use your hand to bring together to form a dough.
- Turn out onto a bench lightly dusted with extra flour. Gently knead to form a smooth, soft dough. Don’t over-knead. Pat out dough to a 2cm thick round. Place onto prepared tray. Use a sharp knife to cut into 10 wedges about 5mm deep. Brush with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with remaining 2 tsps of sugar.
- Bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until sounds hollow and golden. Cover with foil if over-browning. Stand for 20 minutes.
- Serve cut or pulled into wedges with Wester Star Spreadable.
More Tips
- Instead of rubbing butter in with your fingertips. Use a food processor to process flour, spices, sugar and butter to form coarse breadcrumb texture then tip back into a bowl to continue. This applies to all scone recipes.
- Cut scones into wedges and bake separately.
