Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. Cut the butter into small (1/4-inch) chunks, rewrap it in the paper, and return it to the refrigerator.
  3. In large bowl mix all dry ingredients, including the sugar.
  4. In separate bowl or measuring cup, beat 1 egg and combine with buttermilk.
  5. Take butter chunks out of fridge and combine with dry mix a few at a time. Put both hands in the bowl and roll the flour between thumb and fingers, letting contents drop back into bowl each time. Finished batter should have a gravelly texture—shot through with uneven-sized pebbles of butter.
  6. Comb the buttermilk-egg mixture into the butter flour gravel using a fork (or fingers), then add the apple cubes, blending though the batter just enough to be able to make two equal-sized balls. (Sooner is better than—don't overwork this dough!)
  7. Gently flatten the balls into two disks about 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
  8. Pizza-slice each disk into 4 triangular sections.
  9. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  10. Beat the second egg and brush it on the scones as a glaze.
  11. Bake for 20 minutes until golden brown.
