Savoury Apple and Cheddar Cheese Scones.

I made those for our lunch today, to go with a carrot and roasted pepper soup. This recipe makes approximately 15 scones ,so we still have a few left. I will use them tomorrow morning, they will be served alongside sausages and eggs for breakfast.These scones go nicely with caramelized onion marmalade and ham, too.Very easy and quick to make. So if you have 30 minutes to spare, here is a recipe!
225 gr self-raising flour, plus some more for dusting
1 apple , peeled and diced
50 gr butter, slightly softened
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of sea salt
100 gr of cheddar cheese, finely grated
1 tsp of grated nutmeg
125 ml of milk, and a bit more for glazing
Preheat your oven gas mark 7/220C.
Put all flower, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and the butter into a large mixing bowl. Rub in butter with the dry ingredients, using the tips of your fingers. The mix will look like crumbs.

Stir in apple and cheese.
Pour the milk in, mix well.Fold the dough over several times. Sprinkle some flour on the table, place the dough on the flour and pat into a round about 1" thick. Use a cookie cutter or a glass to cut out scones.
Repeat the process until all dough is used up.
Glaze the scones with a little milk and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool in the oven.
Enjoy!
