Ingredients

2 cup (300g) self-raising flour

2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus 1/4 teaspoon, extra

30 gram butter, chopped

1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar

2 apples, peeled, cored and grated (see tip)

1/4 cup (60ml) milk, plus extra, for brushing

1 egg, beaten

2 teaspoon caster sugar

Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Lightly grease a scone tray. Sift flour and cinnamon into a large bowl. Add butter. Rub in lightly using fingertips. Stir in brown sugar.

2.Add apples and combined milk and egg. Using a bread and butter knife, mix quickly to a soft, sticky dough. Do not over-mix.

3.Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly. Press or roll out to form a square about 2cm thick. Cut into squares using a floured knife.

4.Place scones close together on a prepared tray. Brush with a little extra milk and sprinkle each with combined caster sugar and extra cinnamon. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until scones sound hollow when tapped. Cool on a wire rack.

You need about 1 cup grated apple. If preferred, sprinkle with prepared cinnamon sugar.
