APPLE AND HONEY SCONES

Apple and Honey Scones image

I found this on the 'net in a hungry search for ever more scone recipes. This was listed as being a prize winner in a recipe contest for wheat germ. They don't contain egg so a true scone aficionado would probably say these are a biscuit not a scone.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.

Tips:

Proper Ingredient Measurement: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients, especially flour, for consistent results.
Cold Butter: Keep the butter cold until ready to use. This will help create flaky layers in the scones.
Laminating the Dough: Fold the dough in thirds, then rotate it 90 degrees and fold again. Repeat this process two more times to create even layers.
Chilling the Dough: Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the dough hold its shape and prevent spreading.
Proper Baking Temperature: Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking. This will help ensure the scones bake evenly.
Glaze the Scones: Brush the scones with milk or cream before baking for a golden-brown crust.
Serve Fresh: Scones are best served fresh out of the oven. If storing, keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
