Makes: 6 scones
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
  • 1 medium cooking apple (peeled, cored and diced to give 125g/4¼ oz prepared fruit)
  • 2 x 15ml tbsp water 
  • 250g/9oz Glutafin Select White Mix 
  • 1 ½ x 5ml tsp gluten-free baking powder*
  • 25g/1oz butter (at room temperature) 
  • 3 x 15ml tbsp milk

*Check in your Coeliac UK Gluten-free Food and drink Directory for a suitable brand

To serve:

  • clotted cream and jam
Method
  1. Place prepared diced apple into a medium size mixing bowl with the water. Cover and microwave for 3 - 4 minutes until it is cooked to a puree. Set aside to cool. 
  2. To prepare the scones, place half the weighed White Mix into a mixing bowl with the cooled apple and remaining ingredients. Stir to a smooth paste with a fork before working in the remaining White Mix. 
  3. Transfer raw scone mix to a work surface liberally dusted with White Mix. Knead thoroughly for 2 minutes to give a smooth dough. 
  4. Roll out the scone dough to a 2.5cm/1" thickness adding more White Mix if necessary to prevent it from sticking. 
  5. Cut dough into 6 rounds using a 6.5cm/2 ½" round cutter. Place onto a greased baking sheet and bake until well risen and golden brown in colour. 
  6. Serve warm, split in half and topped with cream and jam.
