  • Sugar (to sprinkle on top)

  1. Mix dry ingredients and frozen grated butter together in a bowl with fingertips until it resembles pea sized crumbs. Set aside in the freezer until ready to use.
  2. Mix grated apple with lemon juice in a bowl, set aside.
  3. Mix liquid ingredients together in a separate bowl, set aside.
  4. Add grated apple & liquid ingredients into dry mix, then roughly mix with a fork.
  5. Dust bench counter lightly with flour, then transfer dough onto the floured surface.
  6. Knead dough briefly until no large patches of flour remains, then shape into a ball.
  7. Flatten ball to approx. 2-2.5cm thick, then transfer onto a lined baking tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
  8. Cut refrigerated dough into 8 wedges, then separate each wedge (ensure to leave some gaps between each wedge before baking).
  9. Brush the top with egg wash, then lightly sprinkle with sugar.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 170C (fan-forced) or 190C oven (conventional) for 25-30 minutes. Cover scones halfway through with aluminium foil if browning too quickly.
  11. Serve scones with a drizzle of caramel sauce and sprinkle with crushed up biscuit.
