Apple Ginger Beer and Black Currant Scones

These are tasty fruit scones with a lovely ginger flavour.

Ingredients make 15

500 g self raising flour

5 g salt

1 tsp ground ginger

125 g shredded apple

100 g caster sugar

100 g dried currants

125 ml cream

125 ml ginger beer

Method

Preheat oven to 200ºC fan forced (220ºC normal bake). Place flour, salt, ground ginger in a bowl and combine. Place sugar, apple and currants in a bowl, mix with cream and ginger beer. Add this mix to the flour mixture and combine with a scraper or hands. Turn the dough out on a floured table, roll or pat the scone dough to a thickness of 25 mm. Cut scones out with a 5 cm scone cutter and place on a slightly floured tray with some distance in between. Bake in a fan forced oven on for 12 minutes. Dust with icing sugar

Note: If you don’t have black currants use other dried fruits such as sultanas, dates or raisins.
