How to Make Zaarbucks Famous Apricot Almond Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in 1 cup dried apricots, chopped, and 1/2 cup sliced almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/4 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds until it comes together. Avoid over-kneading.
- Shape the dough into an 8-10 inch disk on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top with 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the dough halfway through into 8 wedges, making indentations, not completely separating the scones.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Best served warm, but delicious cold as well!
