Apple Scones

Recipe Ingredients

4 tablespoons	60ml	Cold butter - (1/2 stick)
1 1/2 cups	93g / 3.3oz	All-purpose flour
1/2 cup	118ml	Wheat germ
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Sugar
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Cinnamon
1 tablespoon	15ml	Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Baking soda
2		Eggs - (1 for glazing)
1/2 cup	118ml	Buttermilk
1		Granny Smith apple - peeled, and
		Cut into 1/2" cubes -(abt 1 cup)

Recipe Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the butter into small (1/4-inch) chunks, rewrap it in the paper, and return it to the refrigerator.  Combine the dry ingredients.  Beat 1 egg and combine it with the buttermilk.

Thread the butter though the dry ingredients with thumb and fingers, getting it to a gravelly texture. Comb the buttermilk-egg mixture into the butter-flour "gravel" then add the apple cubes, blending through the batter just enough to be able to make two equal sized balls.

Flatten the balls to 2 disks 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Now "pizza-slice" each disk into four sections. Put the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet. Beat the second egg and brush it on the scones as a glaze. Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown.
