Apple Scones

I don't know about you, but I like to have a slightly more luxurious breakfast on the weekends. Maybe something hearty like bacon and scrambled eggs, an omelette or frittata, perhaps pancakes, or simply some nice, warm-from-the-oven bread. These scones are real easy to put together, but will definitely add that special touch to a breakfast. They're delightfully crumbly and very apple-y. I love them with a fairly sharp cheese, and a slice of smoked turkey.

Apple Scones
Makes 6 large scones

150 g white flour
100 g wholemeal spelt flour (or regular wholewheat)
50 g sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
75 g butter
1 apple, coarsely grated (no need to peel it beforehand if you don't want to)
1 egg



Mix all the dry ingredients. Add the butter, cold and diced, and pinch with your fingertips until well distributed. Or use a food processor - that's what I generally do.

Add the egg and the apple, and quickly shape into scones. You can use a muffni tin (well greased!) if you don't want to make them free-form.

Bake at 200°C for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are cooked through and lightly golden.
