Posted On: 2015-08-26 14:54:20

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups Flour

6 teaspoons Baking powder

3 teaspoons Cinnamon, plus extra, for sprinkling

¼ teaspoon Salt

75 grams Butter

1½ cups Milk
4 Apples, peeled, cored & cut into thin slices

1 sprinkle Raw sugar, a generous one, & extra milk, for glazing

DIRECTIONS:

Heat oven to 220C.

Sift flour, baking powder, 3 teaspoons cinnamon & salt into a bowl.

Cut butter in until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add 1 cup milk & mix quickly with a knife to a soft dough, adding more milk if required.

Knead a few times.

Press the dough out on floured bench & cut into two.

Place one half on to an oven tray dusted with flour & cover with ⅔ of the apples.

Press the remaining dough on to the apples to cover & spread the remaining ⅓ apples on top.

Cut into 12 even-sized pieces.

Brush the tops with a little milk, sprinkle with a generous amount of raw sugar & a little more cinnamon, if wished.

Place in top half of the oven to bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown & cooked through.

Cooling on a rack will give you crisp crusts, while covering them with a clean tea towel will give a soft scone.

Serve warm with a tangy jam & freshly whipped cream.
