Apple Scones

• 225g self-raising Flour
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• pinch of Salt
• 50g Margarine
• 50g Granulated Sugar
• 1 medium-sized Cooking Apple, peeled, cored and chopped
• 150ml of Milk

Glaze

• some Milk
• 25g Demerara Sugar

Heat the oven to 200⁰C mark 6.

Lightly grease a baking tray. Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt into a mixing bowl.

Rub in the margarine until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. Stir the apple into the mixture. Mix together, using a fork, with sufficient milk to give a soft, but not sticky, dough.

Knead lightly on a floured surface then roll out to a circle, about 20cm in diameter. Place on a lightly greased baking tray and mark into eight wedges. Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with demerara sugar.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until well risen, golden and firm to the touch. Place on a cooling rack.
