Apple 'n' Honey Scones Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 8 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup toasted wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/3 cup cold butter
1 large tart apple, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
TOPPING:
2 teaspoons wheat germ
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the apple, milk and honey; add to dry ingredients just until moistened.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times. Gently pat dough into a 9-in. circle, about 1/2 in thick. Combine the topping ingredients; sprinkle over dough. Cut into eight wedges.
Separate wedges and place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 8 scones.
