These scones are a little more special than the plain and sultana types. It's nice to make them in a smaller, more dainty size for the afternoon tea plate.

1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
50g butter
50g medium oatmeal
1 tsp sugar
125g Cheddar, Wensleydale, cut into small cubes
1 dessert apple, peeled, cored and chopped into small pieces
