The 1854 Wright House Bed & Breakfast
List of 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 whipping cream
Glaze:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugarRecipe
Preheat 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 sides of the circles of dough. 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.
