How to Make Apricot Walnut 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.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chopped apricots and walnuts.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let the scones cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
