Ingredients

• 240 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 180 milliliters low-fat buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 80 grams dried apricots, chopped
• 1 large egg white
• 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the low-fat buttermilk, honey, vanilla extract, egg white, and canola oil. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the scones remain tender.

Step 5

Gently fold in the chopped dried apricots until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a circle about 3/4-inch thick.

Step 7

Use a floured knife to cut the dough into 8 equal triangular wedges.

Step 8

Transfer the wedges onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones have risen and the tops are lightly golden.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving warm.
