Steps:
- Pre heat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas mark 4.
- Place the flour and butter or margarine into a large bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mix resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, place these ingredients in the bowl of your food mixer, attach a beater and mix on low until you have achieved the same result.
- Make a well in the centre of this mixture and add 75g of the honey and all the grated apple.
- Add the egg and two thirds of the milk. Using your fingers bring the ingredients together until you have a soft, pliable dough. Add additional milk if the dough feels too dry. Alternatively, mix with the beater in your food mixer until you achieve the same results.
- Liberally sprinkle flour over your worktop and place the dough on top. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to around 3cm (1¼") thick. Use a 7cm (2½") cutter to cut out your scones. Gather up the trimmings and repeat until you have 12 scones.
- Place the scones on a lined tray and brush the tops with the remaining milk. Place into your oven for 10-15 minutes or until risen and golden.
- Remove from the oven and while the scones are still hot brush with the remaining 25g of honey. Leave to cool.
APPLE AND HONEY SCONES
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.

Tips:
- Use cold butter. Cold butter will create flaky layers in the scones.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones rise evenly.
- Bake the scones until they are golden brown. Overbaking will make the scones dry.
- Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings. Scones are delicious served with butter, jam, honey, or clotted cream.
Conclusion:
Apple and honey scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They are perfect for a fall day, and they can be customized to your own liking. Whether you like them plain, with butter and jam, or with a dollop of clotted cream, apple and honey scones are sure to please everyone.
