  Unfortunately I think this recipe is missing a vital ingredient. 1 egg and 1 grated apple don't provide nearly enough liquid to bind the ingredients so I also added 100ml of milk at stage 2. This is why I've only given 3-stars. These quantities made 7 normal sized scones and they *were* delicious. Next time I'm also substituting self-raising for the plain flour... I like my scones a little taller!

  I agree - they did need a little milk to bind them. The last time I made this recipe, I added some cheese to the mix and finely chopped spring onion instead of apple and they were lovely!
