Ingredients

  • 8 ounces wholemeal self-rising flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 4 ounces butter
  • 2 ounces soft brown sugar
  • 2 medium sized cooking apples, peeled, cored and finely diced
  • 1 medium egg

Method

  • Set oven to 375*F or Mark 5.
  • Mix the flour, cinnamon and baking powder together in a large bowl.
  • Rub in the butter, stir in the sugar and apple and lastly stir in the egg.
  • Mould into 10 or 12 small rough heaps (as you would for rock cakes) and place on a floured baking sheet.
  • The mixture must not be too wet or the scones will lose their 'rocky' shape.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Serve split in half, with butter.
