Amazing Apple Scones

- 20 minutes to make
- Serves 8
Crunchy on the outside, yet fluffy on the inside. These are amazing!
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon (1/4 cup or 1/2 stick) cold butter shopping list
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour shopping list
- 1/2 cup wheat germ shopping list
- 1/4 cup sugar shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1 Tablespoon baking powder shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda shopping list
- 2 eggs (1 for glazing) shopping list
- 1/2 cup buttermilk shopping list
- 1 Granny Smith apple (peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes, about 1 cup)* shopping list
How to make it
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Cut the butter into small (1/4-inch) chunks, rewrap it in the paper, and return it to the refrigerator.
- In large bowl mix all dry ingredients, including the sugar.
- In separate bowl or measuring cup, beat 1 egg and combine with buttermilk.
- Take butter chunks out of fridge and combine with dry mix a few at a time. Put both hands in the bowl and roll the flour between thumb and fingers, letting contents drop back into bowl each time. Finished batter should have a gravelly texture—shot through with uneven-sized pebbles of butter.
- Comb the buttermilk-egg mixture into the butter flour "gravel" using a fork (or fingers), then add the apple cubes, blending though the batter just enough to be able to make two equal-sized balls. (Sooner is better than—don't overwork this dough!)
- Gently flatten the balls into two disks about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
- "Pizza-slice" each disk into 4 triangular sections.
- Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Beat the second egg and brush it on the scones as a glaze.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
