Ingredients
-
1 Le Rustique camembert 250g
- 5 tablespoons Runny honey (flower or lavender honey)
- 150g Unsalted butter
- 450g Self-raising flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- ½ tablespoon Sea salt
- 100g Butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1 small Eating apple (peeled, cored and very finely diced or grated)
- Milk mixed with 1 large beaten egg
- 300ml Poppy seeds
Preparation
- To make the honey butter: beat the honey and the butter with a hand-held electric whisk until light and fluffy. Set to one side until needed.
- Pre-heat oven to 220C/450F/Gas mark 7 and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt together and then rub in the butter until it resembles bread crumbs.
- Stir in the Le Rustique Camembert and apple and add just enough of the milk and egg mixture to make a soft dough, it should not be too sticky. Reserve the remaining milk and egg mixture for the glaze.
- Gather into a ball and place in a floured work surface; roll out gently to a thickness of about 2cm and stamp out the scones with a 5cm scone cutter. Gather together all the offcuts and continue to stamp out scones until all the dough is used up.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet and brush them with the egg and milk mixture before scattering some poppy seeds over the top.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are well risen and golden brown.
- Cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving warm with the honey butter.
