Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots (about 4 1/2 ounces)
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Mix 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Stir in apricots and 1 tablespoon lemon peel. Add whipping cream and stir just until dough forms. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead gently just until dough holds together. Form dough into 10-inch-diameter, 1/2-inch-thick round. Cut into 12 wedges.
  • Transfer wedges to large baking sheet, spacing evenly. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon peel in small bowl. Brush scones with melted butter. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Bake scones until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cool completely. Wrap in foil; store at room temperature.) Serve scones warm or at room temperature.

These scones were a great way to start my day. They were light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor was refreshing. I'll definitely be making these again.

These scones were just okay. They were a little dry, but the lemon flavor was good. I'll try a different recipe next time.

These scones were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and the lemon flavor was barely noticeable. I won't be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of scones, but these were really good! The lemon flavor was subtle and the scones were very moist. I'll definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my family loved them. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
