Special Request: Apple Scone Round

Marc has just put in a special, emergency request for a recipe, so here it goes. I was intending to put this up, but hadn't gotten around to it.

Apple Scone Round

Heat oven to 400 degrees.

1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tsp baking powder
4 tbsp margarine or butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 medium-sized cooking apple, peeled, cored and coarsely grated
1/4 cup milk

To glaze:
A little milk
1 tbsp brownulated sugar (granulated brown sugar)

Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder (can also put in bowl and whisk together if you don't have a sifter). Rub in the margarine. Add the sugar, then the grated apple and add enough milk to give a soft but not sticky dough. Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and knead lightly (until it holds to itself better than to the counter). Roll out to an 8 inch circle and place on a greased and floured baking sheet. Score the scone into 8 pieces. Brush all over the top with milk and sprinkle with the sugar. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until well risen and golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm with butter.

The whole family loves this scone. When all kids were teenagers, we would have to make 2 for breakfast, and if we were lucky, we would have some leftover (though not for long) afterwards. No actual need for butter.

I'll post this now so Marc can use it. I'm planning on doing a Thanksgiving post with whipped cauliflower and regular and low carb recipes for pumpkin bread. I'm also going to try a low carb version of this scone here and see how it goes.
