Apple Scones



1 cup whole white wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
1/4 cups white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter, chilled
1 apple
1/2 cup milk

a little extra milk
sugar
cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or using parchment paper. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Grate butter into dry mixture, and mix with fingers until combined. Grate apple into dry mixture. (I grate the whole apple--including the peel--just avoiding the core.) Toss to combine.

Pour 1/2 cup milk over all, and stir until dough forms into a ball. Break in two pieces, and form each into a ball. Smash each ball to a circle about 1 inch high on the baking sheet. Score each into six triangles.

Brush each round with a little milk. Sprinkle with about 1/2 TBSP sugar each, and then sprinkle cinnamon on top.  Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until starting to brown. They are done when the tops spring back at your touch. Serve warm, with butter if you like.
