Ingredients

Method

  • Preheat oven to 200C fan forced. Grease a large oven tray. Sift flour, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon and spice into a large bowl. Stir in 2 ½ tablespoons 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 teaspoons 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.

Tips & Hints:

  • 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.
  • You can cut scones into wedges and bake separately.
