Treacle and Apple Scones

Ingredients
225g self-raising flour
1 tablespoon caster sugar
pinch of salt
75g butter, cut into small pieces
1 desert apple, chopped
1 egg beaten
2 tablespoons treacle
75ml milk

Method
1. Sieve the flour, sugar and salt into a mixing bowl - rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
2. Peel, core and chop the apple - stir into the mixture.
3. Mix the beaten egg, treacle and milk - add to the dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
4. Rollout the dough to a 2cm thickness, and cut out 8 scones using a 5cm cutter.
5.  Arrange on a lightly greased baking tray and bake in a preheated over at 220C for 8-10 minutes.
6. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool slightly - split and serve spread with butter.
