Apple-Cinnamon Scones

My mother is usually the one who blogs on recipes, but I just tried this recipe I found on the internet (with a few tweaks of my own) and I just had to share. I've never actually made scones, and not only was this recipe super easy, but really yummy! Enjoy!

Apple Cinnamon Scones

Scones:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup white sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter, chilled

1 apple - peeled, cored and shredded

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup milk

Topping:

2 tablespoons milk

2 tablespoons white sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1) Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter and mix until crumbly. Add shredded apple (yes, I learned you really can grate apple), cinnamon, and milk. Stir to form a soft dough.

2) Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat into two rectangles on greased and floured baking sheet. Dough will be slightly sticky, extra flour helps. Brush tops with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Score each into six triangles.

3) Bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until brown and risen.
