Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cup Dried apricots (chopped)
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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 flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots and white chocolate chips.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round disk about 1 inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.
Using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Place the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Brush the tops of the scones with a little heavy cream to promote a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the scones are lightly golden brown.
Remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature with tea, coffee, or your favorite jam.
