Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 apple - peeled, cored and shredded
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.25 cup butter, chilled

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Step 2

Combine flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter until crumbly. Add shredded apple and 1/2 cup milk. Stir to form a soft dough.

Step 3

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently, 8 to 10 times. Pat into two 6-inch circles and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with 2 tablespoons milk, then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Score each dough circle into 6 pie-shaped wedges.

Step 4

Bake scones in the preheated oven until browned and risen, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.
