Bunny scones with blueberry chia jam

  Beautiful Sunday morning I've decided to make scones for breakfast. Here is our new favourite recipe from Waitrose. You just need flour, butter, milk, baking powder, sugar, apple and blueberry jam. You will find full recipe below. Quantity given will make 10 scones. You need around 25 minutes from start till end. Use any jam you like. I've already had homemade chia and blueberry jam. If you want to make it, you can find recipe on Lexi's Clean Kitchen.
 

Blueberry bunny scones

  • Preparation time: 10 minutes                                                                                   
  • Cooking time: 15 minutes
  • Makes: 10                    

Ingredients

225g self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting1 tsp baking powder40g salted butter, chilled and cubed, plus extra for greasing1 Braeburn apple (about 140g)50g caster sugar
50g blueberry jam

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Grease large baking tray or use silicone mat. 
To make the dough, put the flour and baking powder in a bowl add butter. With your fingertips rub butter into flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
 
 
Peel the apple and great it directly to your flour/butter mixture.
 
 
Add sugar and milk, make a soft dough, try not to overwork it.
  
  
Turn out onto floured worktop and roll out to a 45 x 18cm rectangle.
 

 
Spread a blueberry jam thinly over the dough.
 

 
 Half roll up your rectangle and cut into 10 thin strips.
 
 
Bring the middle of  the unrolled strip to meet the coiled dough and pinch in place to make one floppy ear. Do the same with the remaining strip of dough to make the second ear and press it into place.
 
 
 Transfer to the baking sheet and make the remainder in the same way.
 
 
 Decorate with blueberries (I used silver cake beads and raisins) and almonds.
 
 
 
 Bake for 10-15 minutes until risen and golden.
  
  
 Enjoy!
