Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, chilled and cut into chunks
1/3 cup dried apricot, chopped
1 egg, beaten lightly
1/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup apricot nectar (like kern's canned juice)
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with knife(prevents measuring too much flour, thus resulting in tough scones).
  • Combine flour with next 4 ingredients in a bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add apricots; toss well.
  • Combine egg, buttermilk, and nectar; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moist(dough will be sticky).
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 4 or 5 times with floured hands. Pat dough into a 9-inch circle on a greased baking sheet.
  • Score the dough into 12 wedges, by cutting into, but not through the bottom of dough with a large knife.
  • Brush egg white over surface of dough, and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp sugar. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.

These scones were a bit dry. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

Not a fan. The scones were too dry and crumbly. I wouldn't make them again.

I'm not a huge fan of apricots, but these scones were still really good. The buttermilk gave them a nice tangy flavor. I would definitely make them again.

Meh. I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out dense and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! I've had better scones, but these were still enjoyable. The texture was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I might try adding some chopped nuts or dried fruit next time.

These scones were a delightful treat! The buttermilk and apricot combination was a perfect balance of tangy and sweet. They were easy to make and turned out beautifully golden brown. I'll definitely be making these again!
