Tips:

  • Use cold butter: Cold butter creates pockets of steam in the oven, resulting in a light and flaky scone.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes it easier to handle.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm: Scones are best served warm out of the oven. You can also store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These white chocolate apricot scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast treat. They are perfect for a special occasion or a simple weekend brunch. With their sweet and tangy flavor, these scones are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
