Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.
Sift the flour, sugar and cinnamon into a mixing bowl, add the butter and rub in until it resembles fine crumbs. Add the diced apples and mix briefly to distribute them evenly.
Pour the milk into a jug, crack in the egg and stir to mix. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the liquid, adding enough to draw all the mixture into a damp dough but not enough to make it sloppy and wet.
Add the blackberries and stir through gently.
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and roll out to about 3cm thick. Stamp out using a 7cm round fluted cutter and place on the baking sheet. Gently knead the trimmings together, re-roll and stamp out more rounds.
Bake for 15–20 minutes until risen and springy to the touch. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm with blackcurrant jam and clotted cream.
