Walnut and apple scones

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 220˚C (200°C, 424F, gas mark 7).

2. Sift the flour into a large bowl and rub in the butter, using the fingertips.

3. Stir in the sugar, walnuts and apple.

4. Pour in the milk and using a knife mix it until it comes together to form a dough.

5. Turn out on to a floured work surface and knead very briefly just to bring it all together.

6. Roll to a thickness of about 2 cm then, using a round cutter, cut out the scones.  Re-roll the dough and cut again, until you have used it all.

7. Place the scones onto a baking sheet and sprinkle with demerara sugar.  Bake for 12-15 minutes.
