How to Make Apricot Cream Cheese Scones

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the cream cheese, apricot jam, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
  7. Use a sharp knife or a biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges.
  8. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or coffee!
