CHEESE AND APPLE SCONES.

Ingredients......210 gm of self raising flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, pinch of salt. 60 gm of fine oatmeal, 1 tsp of mustard powder, 1 tsp of brown sugar, 4 tbs of butter/ marg, 125 gm of grated tasty cheese, 1 apple peeled, cored and thinly sliced into pieces, 5 tbs of sour cream, extra sour cream for glazing. Preheat your oven to 200 deg C. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Stir throught the oatmeal, sugar and mustard pwder. Rub in the butter/ marg with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Fold in the cheese and apple and just enough sour cream to make a soft dough ... NOT a sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape the dough out into a thickness of 1 "/ 2 cm. Cut out into 10 - 12 scones. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the scones with a little extra soured cream and dust lightly with oatmeal. Bake in the preheated oven until well risen and golden. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
