FETA AND APPLE SCONES

Want something special that is a perfect blend of sweet and savoury . Preheat your oven to 200deg C . Grease and line an oven tray . Mix 200gm of self raising flour together in a bowl with a good pinch of salt and 60 gm of wheat germ , 1 tsp of baking powder and 1 tsp of muscovado sugar . Using your fingertips rub in 60 gm of butter/ marg along with 1 dsp of wholegrain mustard until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs . Now stir in 125 gm of crumbly style feta cheese cut into 1 cm cubes and 1 large Pink Lady apple peeled , cored and chopped into 5 mm pieces ( using a bread knife )with JUST enough sour cream to make a soft (NOT STICKY )dough . Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured bench and shape into a cicle about 2 cm thick with your hands and cut out 8 scones using a 6 cm pastry cutter . Without over handling any remaing dough , press the trimmings together and shape into rounds to make more scones . Place the scones on the lined baking tray and brush with sour cream and lightly sprinkle with wheat germ . Bake in the preheated for 15 minutes and cool on a wire cooling rack . Serve with dobs of sour cream or whipped thickened cream .
