About the bake
Try these fruity nutty scones with a crunchy demerara topping. They are so quick to make for anytime and are truly delicious served with fresh cream and homemade jam.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 220˚C (200°C, 424F, gas mark 7).
Step 2:
Sift the flour into a large bowl and rub in the butter, using the fingertips.
Step 3:
Stir in the sugar, walnuts and apple.
Step 4:
Pour in the milk and using a knife mix it until it comes together to form a dough.
Step 5:
Turn out on to a floured work surface and knead very briefly just to bring it all together.
Step 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.
Step 7:
Place the scones onto a baking sheet and sprinkle with demerara sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Recipe Reviews
this was just amazing everyonre in my family loved them thx soo much i hope to make them again soon bye. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have been making these regularly since I found your recipe about a year ago as everyone loves them! I have baked batches during lockdown and distributed them to friends, family and neighbours. It really cheers them up....so thank you!
Made mine with wholemeal flour and just a touch of salt and cane out reallly well ..nice to eat with cheese
Really yummy recipe!
First thought the mix needed a bit more sugar. But after eating half a dozen, thoughts changed. They are really nice, love the crunchy demerara sugar topping.
I used semi skimmed milk because that was all we had in.
May be some more walnuts would be good. But I am not sure what this will do to the final mixture...
Will be making a second batch at the end of the week for family 😊
