Method

  1. Step 1:

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

  2. Step 2:

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

  3. Step 3:

    Stir in the sugar, walnuts and apple.

  4. Step 4:

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

  5. Step 5:

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

  6. 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.

  7. Step 7:

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