APPLE AND HONEY SCONES

Apple and Honey Scones image

I found this on the 'net in a hungry search for ever more scone recipes. This was listed as being a prize winner in a recipe contest for wheat germ. They don't contain egg so a true scone aficionado would probably say these are a biscuit not a scone.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, cold
1 large tart apple, peeled and finely chopped, about 1 1/4 cups
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons wheat germ
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Combine the apple, milk and honey; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface, knead gently 4 or 5 times.
Gently pat dough into a 9-in. circle, about 1/2 inch thick. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over dough. Cut into eight wedges and place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes.
