A scone round that is similar in texture to "quick bread" with grated apple and blue cheese added, making it a special savoury style scone, perfect when served warm with butter and served with salad, or even soups and stews.
Ingredients
- 8 ozs (225g) self raising flour
- 2 ozs (50g) butter or margarine
- 3 ozs (75g) Dorset blue vinny cheese (crumbled, or other cheese of your choice)
- 1 eating apple, peeled, cored and grated (I used a Russet apple, but Cox's would be good too)
- 1 large egg, beaten (mixed with 4 tablespoons milk)
- extra milk for the glaze
