Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
- 0.75 cup Dried apricots, chopped
- 0.75 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Add the butter to the flour mixture, using a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped dried apricots until they are well distributed in the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix together until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, gently folding until the dough begins to come together. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough a few times until it holds together in a ball.
Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Use a knife to cut the circle into 8 equal scones.
Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little milk to help them brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm.
Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
