Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 cups self-rising flour
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon superfine white sugar
⅓ cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 medium apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
5 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 large egg, beaten

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
Sift flour and salt into a mixing bowl. Mix in sugar. Rub in butter with your fingers until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Stir in apples until combined.
Mix milk, honey, and egg together in a separate bowl. Add to the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Cut scones out with a cookie cutter of your choice. Place on the prepared cookie sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool before serving.
