Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 1/4 cups heavy cream

Glaze:

3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Use an ungreased baking sheet.

Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl, stirring with a fork to mix well. Add the dried apricots. Still using a fork, stir in the cream and mix until the dough holds together in a rough mass (the dough will be quite sticky).

Lightly flour a board and transfer the dough to it. Knead the dough 8 or 9 times. Pat into 2 circles about 6 inches round. For the glaze, spread the butter over the top and side of the circle of dough and sprinkle the sugar on top. Cut each circle into 8 wedges and place each piece on the baking sheet, allowing about an inch between pieces.

Bake for about 11 minutes, or until golden brown

Good but a little saltie and dry
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

You need to add only a 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Have tried several different scone reciepes and do like the simple ones the... best. So this one is on my more proplar side excspt for the salt I will cut that back.Read more

Phenom! (made these changes)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is great and became a family favorite! Due to ingredient shortages, I made the following adjustments: 1 cup of vanilla... soy milk and 1/4 cup of sour cream. Used 8 dried apricot slices. Smooth and creamy with no sulfide aftertaste.Read more

A major crowd pleaser!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these for a purse party and I used dried cranberries/white choc chips, dried cherries, and honey glazed apricots. ... Everyone loved them! They are moist and light. Super easy to make. I prepared and baked four dozen of these in just a little over an hour. The best scones ever!Read more

wow - these are great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For anyone who has crumbled butter into a scone recipe and know how long it takes...to find a recipe that doesn't require... that task is amazing. I just made these and put choc. chips since I didn't have any dried fruit on hand. I also mixed heavy cream and buttermilk. They came out fluffy and moist. I will be making these again.Read more

Delicious and light
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

These would have been fantastic if I'd remembered the salt! Obviously, this was not the fault of the recipe. The reason for... the four stars, rather than five, is that they seemed more like a cross between a scone and a muffin to me. True scones are typically dryer and denser, I think. But delicious and super easy, anyway. My almost-two-year-old daughter could help with just about every step.Read more
