Ingredients | Volumetric Measure |
---|---|---|
500 g | Laucke CWA Scone Mix | 1 sachet |
230 g | Water | ⅞ cup |
250 g | Peeled and Grated Apples (Granny Smith or other sweet apple with some acidity) | 2 medium |
80 g | Chopped Pecan Nuts | ¾ cups |
10 ml | Vanilla Essence | 2 tsp |
5 g | Cinnamon | 2 tsp |
12 g | Sugar | 2 tbsp |
5 g | Cinnamon, extra | 2 tsp |
28 g | Butter | 2 tbsp |
Method
Combine Laucke CWA Scone Mix, cinnamon, vanilla essence and water.
Preheat oven to 200°C.
Knead the dough vigorously until soft, smooth and sticky and you will be rewarded with softer, moister scones that stay fresher, longer. This is easily achieved in a Mixer with a K type dough hook, mixing for 3 minutes at medium speed.
When kneaded, mix in the apple & half the chop the nuts.
Leave to rest for 5 minutes then divide into two greased tins 24 x 7cm and press the remainder of nuts on top.
Leave for another 5 minutes then bake at 200°C (fan forced) for 30 mins. Brush tops with butter & sprinkle with sugar & cinnamon.
