Apple and cinnamon scones

Serves:

Ingredients

For the scones

  • 250g apples, cored, peeled and grated
  • 115g self-raising flour
  • 115g wholemeal flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp demerara sugar
  • icing sugar to decorate

For the filling

  • 2 apples, cored, peeled and chopped
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 2 cloves
  • zest of a lemon
  • 150ml whipping cream

Method

Put the grated apple, flours, baking powder, cinnamon and butter in a large bowl and rub together until the mixture binds together to form a dough. Do not be temped to over-mix or knead the dough. Place the dough onto a floured surface and roll out to a thickness of 2cm. Cut out rounds using a cutter and place the scones on a baking sheet spaced appart. Brush the top of the scones with the beaten egg and sprinkle the demerara sugar on top. Bake the scones in the oven at 220`c, for 8-10 minutes. Remove the apple and cinnamon scones from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool . Meanwhile, you can prepare the filling by placing the chopped apples, water, caster sugar, cinnamon, cloves and lemon zest in a small saucepan and cook on a low heat for a 5 minutes to stew the apples. Take the saucepan off the heat and leave to cool completely. Remove the cloves from the stewwed apples and discard. While the apples are cooling down, you can whip the cream to a stiff consistency. When you are ready to serve the scones, cut them in half horizontally and fill each one with a heaped teaspoonful of the stewwed apples and a dollop of the whip cream. Put the top back on and dust the apple and cinnamon scones with icing sugar.

Method

Itfa’ t-tuffieħ maħkuk, iż-żewġ tipi ta’ dqiq, it-trab tal-ħami, it-trab tal-kannella u l-butir fi skutella kbira u agħġinhom flimkien b’idejk sakemm tifforma għaġina. Tħaddimhiex iżżejjed. Poġġi l-għaġina fuq wiċċ miksi bid-dqiq u iftaħha fi ħxuna ta’ 2ċm. B’forma tonda aqta’ diversi roti fl-għaġina u poġġihom fuq tilar, spazjati minn xulxin. Idlek il-wiċċ tal-pastini bil-bajda mħabbta u ferrex iz-zokkor fil-wiċċ. Aħmihom fil-forn f’temperatura ta’ 220oC għal 8-10 minuti. Imbagħad oħroġhom mill-forn u poġġihom fuq gradilja biex jiksħu. Sadattant lesti l-mili billi titfa’ t-tuffieħ imqatta’, l-ilma, iz-zokkor fin, it-trab tal-kannella, l-imsiemer tal-qronfol u l-qoxra maħkuka tal-lumija f’kazzola żgħira. Sajjar fuq nar bati għal 5 minuti biex it-tuffieħ jirtab ftit. Itfi n-nar u ħalli t-taħlita tiksaħ. Neħħi l-imsiemer tal-qronfol. Waqt li t-taħlita tkun qed tiksaħ, ħabbat il-krema sakemm togħla u tagħqad. Qabel isservi l-pastini, aqsamhom min-nofs għat-tul u imla kull waħda b’mgħarfa mburġata mit-taħlita tat-tuffieħ u b’mgħarfa oħra krema. Agħlaqhom u ferrex ftit zokkor tal-ġelu fil-wiċċ.
