Source of Recipe


Country Home, May 2000






List of Ingredients



• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
  
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  
• 1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/3 cup butter or shortening
  
• 1/2 cup dried apricots
  
• 3/4 cup milk
  
• Milk, optional
  
• Granulated sugar, optional
  






Instructions



1. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons sugar and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles the texture of cornmeal. Stir in dried apricots. Add 3/4 cup milk and stir just until dough clings together.
   
   
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat dough into a 7-inch circle (3/4-inch thick). Cut into 6 to 8 wedges. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with additional milk and sprinkle with sugar, if desired.
   
   
3. Bake in a 425-degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden.
   
   Makes 6 to 8 scones.
