- Preparation and cooking time
- Total time
- Easy
- Serves 8
Ingredients
- 150g plain flour
- 100g wholemeal flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 75g butter
- 1 egg
- 1 apple, coarsely grated
- chopped to make 1½ tbsp sage
Method
- STEP 1
Heat the oven to 200c/fan 180c/gas 6. Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it in until you have a mixture like coarse breadcrumbs, or put the lot in a food processor and pulse until you have the same result.
- STEP 2
Stir in the egg, apple and sage and bring together to form a rough dough – don’t knead it too much or you’ll end up with heavy scones.
- STEP 3
Pat the dough out to about 1.5cm thickness. Stamp out about 8 decent-sized scones. Bake on a buttered baking tray for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through. Serve warm with cheese.
