Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 180 milliliters low-fat buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 80 grams dried apricots, chopped
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, honey, vanilla extract, egg white, and canola oil. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the scones remain tender.
Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 3/4-inch thick.
Use a floured knife to cut the dough into 8 equal triangular wedges.
Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and the tops are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm.
