How to Make Apricot Almond Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the chopped almonds and dried apricots.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and cream. Add this to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Use a biscuit cutter or knife to cut out scones. Place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite spread!
